Jeff. You are right on with your reply. It is warming up some so breathable waders are OK. The water temp on the rivers stays about 52*F year round. The Chili Peppers should work well as the streamers should. We have had so much rain and the water has been high. Bull Shoals (White River) have been running 6 to 7 units round the clock for almost two months. Norfork has been running their 2 units. Crooked Creek has been "blown out" for weeks. Yesterday, BS only had only one unit going. Dean got out for a while at the Trophy area and got a couple of nice trout on Sculpin type streamers before they turned up the one unit to 100%. Wading was possible down river at Rim Shoals. Two of my friends fished "high water" from a boat on Wednesday. They did well fishing the "seams" with Zebra Midges. They C&R about 70 trout between the two of them. The bait chuckers have been doing well on the high water with spoons and power bait. Some nice size browns have been caught. Shad are coming through the units and large white jugs have been taking a lot if trout in this high water. Our club has put in a request for low water during the show week, if they approve it, there should be some good wade fishing. Just took a look out the back windows, the river is down again this morning and there are a few trout midging below the dock. Less than 2 weeks to go, see you all then.
