"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."
- Emerson -
Excellent trout fishing ... Excellent
shore lunch ... What more could one ask for.
May 5,
2007 - May 18, 2007
Low water and fishing is great. So many anglers tried their luck and did quite well.
Water generation has been slim to none with 1 or 2 power units in the morning is typical. Sometimes shut down by noon.
Live worms as well as live wax worms work very good. Wax worms tend to catch more fish when they are accompanied by a Yellow Power Egg.
Other artificials that catch fish are Mepps, Brown Rooster Tails, Colorado Spoons and Buoyant Spoons.
The best flies reported are the Olive Bead Headed Whooly Bugger, Squirrel Nymphs, Partridge and Orange Soft Hackle, Red Soft Hackles, and the Bulbous Bivisible.
Good luck with your fishing and take a buddy along to enjoy fishing also
and to make memories of a life time.

Memories Made For A Lifetime
Lunker Brown Fishing Is Now EXCELLENT
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.

Meen Pollichathaualla
Serves:
4
Ingredients
1/2 or 1 kg of trout
Onions (big) - 1 or 2 (slice it long)
Green chili - 2 (cut it into long pieces)
Ginger - a piece (cut it into long pieces)
Coconut - half (grated)
Oil - 2 tablespoon
Chili powder - 1 or 1 and a 1/2 tablespoon
Coriander powder - 2 tablespoon
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Curry leaves
Directions
Here is the recipe for "meen pollichathu", which is a very popular dish in and around Cherthala, India. Grind the coconut with a bit of water, squeeze it and strain the milk, and keep that 'thala paal' separate; add a cup of water to the coconut again and squeeze and strain it again and collect that milk in a separate bowl; do the same once more.
Put a flat, but quite deep pan on the stove, pour the oil and when the oil is hot, add the sliced onions, green chili, ginger and curry leaves, and stir until it is light brown.
Then add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and chili powder to it and stir for few seconds and then add the coconut milk, and when it starts boiling, add the fish pieces, cover it and cook for few minutes in medium flame (make sure that it wont overflow), and then let the water evaporate until the gravy is quite thick; then add the 'thala paal' and take it off before it boils, so that it wont go watery again.
Serve it when it is hot. Note 1You can use desiccated coconut instead. Soak two cups of it in boiled water for half an hour and then use. Note 2Actually this curry is made by placing a banana leaf on the pan, and adding all the ingredients to it and cook it and serve, which has a real distinct, nice taste; its smell itself will make your mouth very watery.
