Bull Shoals Lake, at 666.98 msl, is less than 5 feet from the seasonal power pool goal of 661 feet msl so if you're wanting to catch some fat, sassy rainbows, now's the time to fish the White River in the Arkansas Ozarks.
We are still experiencing round-the-clock generation from Bull Shoals Dam and the catch has been plentiful and healthy - quick bites drifting Berkley pink worms, sometimes tipped with a white power egg. The shrimp/PowerBait combo is always a great fallback bait. Add a little salt your shrimp supply to keep your bait on the hook between bites. I watched an angler this morning, just checking his line and reel, testing the cast; he had a gold Cleo tied one. Bam, a beauty of a rainbow responded. . . Try the Cleos this week.
The brown trout bite has been exceptional for June, with catches in the double-digits some days. Sculpin have been the ticket this week with several good keeper browns reeled in and released.
