“When I am by myself immersed in the water, there is a connection as if I become part of it. Time stands still, and all distractions are gone. For a moment, my feet are water, the fly rod an extension of my arm–the rhythm and timing of the cast a part of this beautiful melody surrounding me.” Read the full article in the latest edition of Dun Magazine!
Great tips on what to use for that late summer bite! Capt. Rouse weighs in on using terrestrials to target large trout on the White River in the September issue of Field & Stream magazine.
I expect mild daily generation to continue this next week. Temperatures are supposed to start dropping in the next few days as we welcome fall. Read full report by Jamie HERE.
This handsome fellow just turned 12 this month. I thought I lost him today and was in a panic. For several hours I searched for him. I drove and called his name until I was hoarse. Then hopped on my bike to access places I couldn’t with my car. Climbed fences looking and listening for any signs of him. Knocked on doors and stopped people driving by. I sent out a group email to about twenty nearby homeowners. I called the local vet offices and humane society and posted on our lost pets Facebook page. It turns out he made some new friends with guests staying in a house nearby. He was on the river fishing with them for about four hours. What a stinker! I can’t be mad at him though. He never meets a stranger, doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and is the best fishing buddy! Happy birthday old man!

We are seeing lots of caddis! Bump twitch caddis emergers with dry fly opportunities.
The rain amounts have been unbelievable for our area. They continue to hold water back trying to get the White River down through farm country. We should have flows all summer. This should make for some really great fishing!
Spring is just around the corner and we can’t wait until the bugs start showing up!

Since the White River at Georgetown is still above flood stage, we have been getting some good breaks in generation. This has resulted in good nymphing and streamer conditions. For full report by Jordan, go to https://www.orvis.com/fishing_report.aspx?locationid=5920
