LITTLE RED RIVER (GREERS FERRY TAILWATER) The Corps is running two generators for 12 hours daily, but the generation duration probably will increase beginning today and reach 16-18 hours by the weekend. Small mayfly nymphs and midge pupa have been the best fly choices. The bite has been good on the days when there is a window of low water.

WHITE RIVER Water fluctuations have been significant. Expect low water in the morning followed by a significant rise. Trout are biting shrimp and egg patterns (orange and/or yellow and/or pink) and worms. Use a mid-sized Rebel Minnow when the releases equal two or three units of water (4,500 to 9,000 cfs). The brown trout X-Rap Rapala and the Elite Blue RPS-9 (Rapala's ripstop size 9) are good baits to use at low- to mid-level releases. Use big stickballs when the flow reaches 12,000 cfs.
NORFORK TAILWATER The most productive flies have been small midge patterns such as ruby, root beer and zebra midges. Black or red with silver wire and silver bead are best. Soft hackles like the green butt are working well, too. Egg patterns also have been productive. Double-fly nymph rigs have been very effective. Try a small Y2K suspended 18 inches below a brightly colored San Juan worm. Best colors are hot fluorescent pink or cerise. The fishing is better in the morning.

BEAVER TAILWATER Trout are hitting spoons and jigs suspended at or near the bottom. PowerBaits on light tackle also are effective. This week's hot spot has been between the U.S. Highway 62 bridge and Spider Creek. There has been minimal generation, so the water temperatures vary between Houseman and Spider Creek.

LAKE HAMILTON TAILWATER Rainbow trout will bite PowerBait, waxworms, mealworms, nightcrawlers and corn presented under a bobber or fished just off the bottom with a marshmallow floater. Shoreline anglers can catch fish this way in slack water. In fast water, spin fishermen can catch trout with white or brown Rooster Tails or black/silver Rapalas. Trolling shallow running crankbaits against the current also will produce results in the early morning or late evening. Crappie can be caught close to the bank near the dam with live minnows under a bobber or tightlined from a boat, or with small jigs in gray or white.
