Small midges and egg patterns are working well, but also try large streamers in the deeper pools. Thanks for the pic, Jared, and congrats on a nice bow!

Mike K. sent these pics in from a recent trip to Beaver. He and his buddies hooked several quality browns and rainbows primarily on midges and egg patterns. The fishing has been very good below Beaver Dam lately with the bigger browns moving up out of the deeper water in their pre-spawn stage.

Congratulations guys on some awesome fish, and thanks again for sending in the pics!

Thanks for sending in the pics guys, and congrats on some awesome fish!

Here's the pic of that White River gator we hooked streamer fishing early one evening last week. We were stripping some big junk! Forrest Smith www.troutandtimber.com Awesome fish, Forrest! Thanks for the pic! Look for Forrest's article on Fall trout fishing in Arkansas in the latest issue of Vertical Magazine.

I was less than optimistic, but these guys had made a special detour on their way from playing Oxford, Mississippi Wednesday night to their show in Fayetteville Thursday night to fish the White River system, so we decided to give it a shot. While Luke and Dallas...
