Bull Shoals AR Trip 5-10

Well the much anticipated trip to Bull Shoals Lake has come and gone??  We had great expectations of Huge Stripers and came home a day early with a few pictures of Walleye and a few Bass?????  I will just call this trip a learning curve at best.  Had a great time in Bull Shoals AR! The cabins was very nice!!  BULL MOUNTAIN RESORT made our stay very comfortable and Kathy & Mark are great people!

Here is the fishing report! Bull Shoals & Norfork are VERY VERY VERY CLEAR.  Not a striper was had on BS, and only 1 on Norfork??  My best advise is get on google and hire a guide??  Our "guide" was a bit busy and could not find time to fish with our crew?  If you want to catch Walleye, throw soft plastics on light jig heads in shallow brush and slow roll it back to the boat!

If you want to go trout fishing, the White river dumps out of Bull Shoals and is very good!  JV, El, and Gene rented a boat and trout fished 1 day and caught some fish.  Once again the river is clear, so light fluro is a must.  A guide will help on the river too!  I took the fly-rod and did manage a nice trout when the river was low.  When they let water out of the spillway, watch out!  The river gets very quick, high, and mean! The wet wade was a bit chilly even for an Oregon Dude??  Take some waders sportsfans!

We had a few trips to GASTONS RESORT, very nice SportsFans!  I think the entire crew will give a thumbs up to Gastons!  Yes Gene those dudes did know me at the Bar???

Well I guess that is all on the Bull Shoals Trip!  My next trip to AR will be to Gastons for a few days of fly fishing for trout! Bull Shoals & Norfork 5  Moe's TU 0?????  I would like to finish this Blog on a positive note!  I made some very cool friends on BS, I think my lack of bathing attracted some butterflies??
