Bull Shoals - Freshwater Fishing Report

Big Phil's Guide Service
White River Fishing Report 01-01-13 to 01/07/13
Until January 31, Remember that the regulations on the catch and release area change. Fishing conditions have been perfect for all anglers. Several guide trips this week all were very productive for some real nice fish. Trophy Browns are being caught at night, call me for info on this. The equipment used by Big Phil's Guides is some of the best on the market. Some cooler to cold weather for the New Year, however fishing conditions could not be better. Most days water has been running up to 2 units others no generations. When the generators do come on, take advantage of the rise it creates a very good bite for the Rouges, Spoons, Roster Tails, and other artificial baits. Trophy Browns are being caught at night when the generators are shut down. Come see me for details on this method. Best baits right now are Sculpins, Nightcrawlers, Frozen Shad, Flat Fish in gold or silver or a Stinging Lizard. Powerbait and Powerbait Trout worms in yellow, bubblegum,or orange has been doing well to catch numbers. For the Fly Fisherman Streamers and White Jigs. Call me if you have questions. Be sure of yourself or get a guide. Now is some of the best times to catch world class fish. Call 870-445-4444 or 870-405-7671 for availability.

Fishing's always good when your with Big Phil. We had several trips this week with a lot of Browns and some sizable
The White River has had excellent fishing conditions this week. It looks to be a colder as the New Year starts up. Be sure and dress for the occasion. The lake has been staying about 9 feet below normal winter pool level and the generator flow has been varying most days. Having a guide is key to catching those memories for a lifetime. Don't be bashful give us a call and have a memorable experience with Big Phil's Guide Service. Great fish are being caught right now. There is no better time to go on a guide trip. The weather is changing but the fish are biting. If you catch a trophy fish we as guides prefer to keep the fish in the river so others can enjoy the experience of catching larger fish. A replica mount lasts longer and is no more expensive than a regular mount and it keeps trophy fish in the river for others to enjoy. Please promote catch and release.
Please be aware of your trash. Don't let it float down river. If you do see some please if possible pick it up. Thanks
Fish ON!!
