Getting better and more to come!


Well went down the D again for a quick afternoon and morning. The fishing was a bit better for me on this trip, but I would still say you'll work hard for more than a fish or two. With that said you never know when you just may get real lucky and park on a bunch. The Afternoon didn't produce anything other than one hard grab. It's sometimes hard to believe a fish can take so hard and still not stick, but that's swinging. The morning skater session didn't produce any visual signs of fish but the second run through with a sink tip produced one lost and one landed(quick pic above). The rest of the day was tougher, but scratched out another in a weird spot, which was unlikely not previously fished because it's just a pain in the butt. We called it in the early afternoon on Wednesday, as afternoon temps were reaching pretty high levels. Overall the fishing is well, just about average. There seems to be more fish available now than last week and I would expect the numbers to increase through September and into October. The water condition's were good, but the hot days this week caused a little warmer afternoon temps than the previous week, so mornings would be a better bet. The White river showed the first signs of turbidity, but when I drove by, there was not enough flow to blow things out. The boater pass numbers in segment 3 and 4 on the weekends have been high, so if you plan on going then, get your pass ahead of time to ensure you'll get to go.
