White River Fishing Report 04/17/12 to 04/24/12
The White River has had a great bite going on. For the last week there has been high generation levels at the Bull Shoals Dam creating great fishing conditions. Best baits right now are Frozen Shad, CD7 or CD9 in gold or silver, Rouges blue or black back with orange belly. Bait fishing Sculpin, Nightcrawlers, or Shad has been producing some sizable Rainbows. 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 for availability, or visit the website at www.bullshoals.com/marmar or Email.marmarresort@wholedamarea.com.

Fishing's always good when your with Big Phil . We had several trips this week with a lot of browns and some sizable rainbows that were caught as well. Protection of the fishery is important. We always have a great day.
Nice Brown, what a great day!
The White River has had excellent fishing conditions. The lake has been staying right near 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. 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. Don't be bashful give us a call 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 than right now. 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!!
