Hello, everyone!
I hope you enjoyed your Christmas and New Year… Steve and I did. Yup, we had some quiet, alone time… It was great!
Anyway, today I have another story that my Daddy, Bob Watts, wrote about fishin’ the White River that I wanted to share with you… I hope you enjoy it!

‘Cause I’ve got a golden ticket… I’ve got a golden chance to make my way… And with a golden ticket, it’s a golden day!
OK, OK… I haven’t really lost it; not completely, anyway. Although, over the last couple of weeks, I really thought some of y’all had! I’m sorry, really I am… There have been [...]
Well, folks… I guess you’ve been hearing a bunch from me about the great trout fishing here… but I’m not the only one that thinks so! The following is an article about Arkansas Trout Fishing on the White River, written in the Des Moines Register. I thought you would find it interesting!

Fishing Report — 9/20/2009 — White River, Wildcat Shoals to Cotter

We had well over 3.5 inches of rain in the last couple of days… Even this far [...]

Fishing Report – 09/06/2009
The generation patterns, although fluctuating, have been on the low to medium-low for the past week, in the range of 1-2 generators, with small spiked up to 3 generators. See the graphs below:
In our area, a somewhat wider portion of the river, there is good wade access at 2000 CFS. That is [...]
Fishing Report – 8/30/2009
As the habitat restoration project at Bull Shoals Dam comes to a close, the generation patterns are beginning to change slightly over the last few days.
What you can see from the graphs above, is that the pattern of letting the water below Bull Shoals Dam begin to fall out around midnight, and [...]
Well, this week I’m going to tell you a little story… Or, actually, I’m going to let my Daddy tell you a little story. You see, my Daddy used to trout fish the White River all around Cotter, long before I was born. I had no idea that he’d ever been here until after my [...]
Well, you know what they say; the more things change, the more they stay the same. Even back in the 50’s, there was “division”, if you will, between those who bait fish and those who fly fish.
It’s only fitting that my Dad would write about bridging that gap over 50 years ago, and finding common [...]
*UPDATE 8/13/2009* — As with many projects involving multiple agencies, the start of the habitat restoration did not start the first week of August as planned. I just talked to Tim Burnley from AGFC yesterday, and they are definitely starting Monday, 8/17/2009.
