Back From a Long Winter's Nap



Nymphing with Golden Stones, midge larvae, and chartreuse Caddis larvae have taken center stage on the Arkansas right now. Golden Stones from a size 10 to a size 16 are molting and offering themselves to hungry fish in choppy water at the heads of runs. Adult Midges are hatching around Noon until 3PM or so. A #20 Para Adams seems to do the trick. Good stuff to get you out of the house.

Anything to get out of the house at this point would be good. I'm in the upper midwest (walleye river territory), and this cold air is putting quite a damper on things. On the other hand, I guess it's just fueling my desire to get out there fishing when the weather finally breaks. hahahha

Has anyone ever tried a Mouse pattern on the Arkansas during the full moon?
I keep hearing that it's the best way to get the Ark's largest Brownies!

yes, we do fish mouse patterns on the Arkansas. I like to drift one close to a grassy shoreline when it is almost dark.

We're lucky here in AZ, the winter isn't as long as most places!
