WHITE RIVER:

The White River traffic is slowing down a bunch as the heat kicks in and the water rises. But the fishing is certainly pretty good as you have read already.

 Apart from Sunday morning, when the water was shut down to coincide with the Casting For Recovery event, generation has remained between 6 and 8 units this week, though the cfs varied from 8000 cfs to over 18000cfs.

The fish are in great condition, very fat and hungry as waders like Jim Mengle discovered last weekend.

 Our guides are continuing to do well with spaghetti and meatballs rigs, attractor eggs in front of a San Juan, or for variety shrimp and dumplings (scuds and eggs). There are huge numbers of scuds now visible with the heaviest didymo removed by the high flows.

The attractor eggs get the trout's attention to the more natural offering. As we discussed earlier Streamers have been working very well. Tan hues have been more successful over the last week.
