"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.

June 2, 2007 - June 15, 2007

Water generation has varied the past two weeks. For the first few days there was no power units on. As of June 9th, the generation has been from 3 units to 7 units. Even with the different water conditions, fishing has been amazing.

The best bite consists of fishing with a Live Red Worm, Chartreuse or Yellow Power Eggs. Red, Pink, or Brown Rubber Worms are also catching many fish. the Buoyant spoon with red and gold is the best spinning lure now on the river.

Fly fishing is now limited to using a Red San Juan Worm or a Y2K bug with a level tippet (no taper) and a heavy split shot to get the fly down to the bottom.

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


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.
