LITTLE RED RIVER (GREERS FERRY TAILWATER) For fly fishing, try midges, soft hackles, sowbugs and streamers. Hot pink and cotton candy bodies on chartreuse jigheads are best for Trout Magnet spin fishing.

WHITE RIVER Anglers have been catching 12- to 13-inch rainbow trout from the bank and wading with Rebel Wee Craws and Teeny Craws (chartreuse/orange and ditch/brown with orange belly). Live crawdads work better from a boat. As the weather cools, turn to orange and yellow egg pattern baits drifted across the bottom near the channel during the low water releases or closer to the bank if the river is swift.
NORFORK TAILWATER Some nice midge and sporadic caddis hatches have provided limited top water action. The most productive flies have been small midge patterns (sizes 18, 20, 22) like ruby midges, root beer midges, zebra midges (black or red with silver wire and silver bead) and soft hackles (sizes 14, 16) like the Green Butt. Egg patterns have been productive. Double-fly nymph rigs have been very effective. Try a small bead headed nymph (zebra midge, Copper John or pheasant tail) suspended 18 inches below a brightly colored San Juan worm (hot fluorescent pink or cerise size 10). The fishing is better in the morning.

BEAVER TAILWATER Low water is making boat fishing very difficult. Trout have migrated toward Houseman Access and have been biting PowerBait and Rooster tails at 8 to 10 feet.

SPRING RIVER Trout are biting great on cool, cloudy days, with big trout reported. Try Olive Woollies and on cloudy days and Y2Ks on the sunny days. On cloudy days, cast downstream with a slow, steady strip back upstream to get the hits. On hatches, a nymph pattern works great. Hot pink and white Trout Magnets are working well for spin fishing.
