Pictures taken April 17, 2024 thru April 24, 2024. • More Reports at http://www.cottertroutdock.com/arkans... • Our website is : http://www.cottertroutdock.com • Water releases from Bull Shoals Dam into the tailwater have been moderate over the past week. While not providing for substantial wade fishing, the current is less swift offering more access for angling from the shore and gravel bars. Bull Shoals Lake is 2 feet below power pool level at 656.98 feet msl. The average generation has been about 2,000 cfs with an occasional burst of higher discharges for several hours. • The rainbow-hued spinners and spoons continue to attract a good share of trout, and the overcast days called for shiny silver blades and spoons. The silver Cleo played a part in successful creel counts. When the sun peeks out, change tactics--look for chartreuse or lemon-lime-colored baits, either in an egg pattern or as part of a Rooster Tail or spinner (the body or skirt) with a gold blade. It'll be easy to keep your bait near the stream bed because the White River water level near Cotter has remained fairly low during the past month. • No surprises for the brown bite: they're nibbling on sculpins and shad, and continue to remain near the bottom and center of the stream. The weathermen promise warmer temperatures beginning Saturday, so pack some sunscreen when you're headed to the river. A rain poncho might come in handy, too. Visit the Natural State for some terrific catches and lots of Ozark hospitality.
