Sportsman's Featured Guests & Trout Fishing Newsletter


SPORTSMAN'S RESORT FALL NEWSLETTER - 2011
early fall Sportman's resort on the white river

Fall on the White River is a creation of Mother Nature that just can't be
beat. Behind us are the 100 degree days of the summer where fishermen
drift with their feet in the water and we all pray for cooler days.
Well, they are here. Daytime temps are in the sixties and seventies
and the nights are "windows open" cool. The leaves are turning into their
glorious fall yellow, orange and purple colors. Evenings are spent around the campfires. And best of all, the fishing is incredible!

After five long months of the dam running six to eight generators, the lake
is back to normal.  We are now seeing an average of two generators running which many consider perfect water for fishing. Shortly the browns will start moving upstream for their annual spawn and that should make for even more exciting trout fishing here on the White River.

One plus from the summer of high water is what we refer as the "buffet
table syndrome for fishies". Trout have a hard time turning down a meal
and high water delivers meal after meal. We have some very healthy plump fish swimming around out there...just waiting for you to invite them to lunch. We have a couple of rainbows down at the dock named Bubba and Football. It is amazing they can swim when you compare the size of their bodies to their little tails. The guests feed them every time they clean
fish so swimming any distance is not part of their routine.

This is the perfect time for a quick getaway and a couple of days of
fabulous trout fishing. All you need to do is give us a shout. It is a
great escape. These seem to be the times that many of us deserve and
need a little break.

As always, we will be serving Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day. It's a special time for our guests and our families and if you would like to be included just let us know.

Lastly. Yes, we are open year around. Lots of folks watch the long range
weather forecast and get a trip in Dec. and Jan. when the weather is decent. At Christmas two years ago we were fly fishing on the shoal out front in shorts and tee shirts (and two days later it was 20 degrees). We do get a lot of great fishing days throughout late fall and winter. Try it out.

Wishing all a great holiday season from Halloween all the way thru the New Year!
