Bull Shoals Lake elevation measured 661.99 feet msl Wednesday with morning releases continuing at around one unit (3,000 cfs) before rising to 12,000 cfs or more in late afternoon. The lake is nearly back to power pool level after the massive rain experienced a week ago and the water clarity in the White River is very good.
Browns have been hiding in the deep holes, coming out to the call of a sculpin or a crawdad tail. Rainbows are less picky; they’re always attracted to the pink and white PowerBait mouse tail worms and they’ll nibble at shrimp and live redworms when the water is rising. It’s fun to drop a D2 Trout Magnet peachy jig, one-eighth ounce is best, and see what comes up.
Stop in and say ‘hey’ when you’re in town. Enjoy the day.
