White River Fishing Report...
Since 1995 - For Twelve Years !!
Jan 13, 2006 - Jan 26,
2007
With all the rain we had a few weeks ago and the snow and rain in Missouri, we have seen a substantial increase in water generation. We have seen anywhere from 3 to 7 generators being turned on almost every morning. Lake levels are above power pool. This is great news for the rivers and lakes. FISH LIKE WATER!
We are having quite a few fisherman showing up now. Guests are catching most of their bigger fish on White Jigs (1/8 oz), #9 Silver Countdown Rapalas, Silver Rogues and White or Silver Krocodile Spoons.
For bait fisherman, White, Yellow and Rainbow colored Power Eggs tipped with a Glo Worm will be hard to beat!
Fly Fishing during early hours on this higher water is best with White or Pink Jigs (1/32 oz or 1/64 oz). Also Egg Patterns and San Juan Worms are working well. Late afternoons they have been turning off the water so wade fisherman will still have an opportunity to fish toward the evenings. However, remember to always be careful and check with the Dams and keep an eye on a spot along the bank so you can tell when the water does start coming up.
November 1st to February 1st a 3/4 mile section of the White River is close for
Brown Trout spawning, from Bull Shoals Dam down to the wing dike (barrier next to Bull Shoals White River State Park Trout Dock).
Open in just a FEW MORE DAYS !!!
Good luck with your fishing and take a buddy along to enjoy fishing also
and to make memories of a life time.
Have
fun on the river and always careful.

SHOALS LAKE LEVEL
Date:
1.26.07, Lake Level: 659.76 msl
Last Report: 653.81 msl (Power Pool is 654 msl)
MSL is
mean sea level. When we say that the lake level is 654
MSL, that means that the top of the lake is 654 feet above sea level.
Eagles Are A Common This Time of Year
Memories Made For A Lifetime
Lunker Brown Season Is Here !!!
NO CLOSED SEASON
Fishing the White River is allowed 12 months out of
the year. The months of
November through March offer some of the best lunker trout
catches of all
seasons, however, fishing is good all year as the water temperature remains
an approximate 50 degrees throughout the year.

"Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could;
Some blunders and absurdities crept in;
Forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
You shall begin it serenely and
With too high a spirit to be encumbered
With your old nonsense."
