I sometimes camp at the foot of Norfork Dam (the COE campground) and
fish the N. Fork River, on the way to or from Mt. View AR for music
makin'.
Yes there are trout. Yes, many are HUGE. No, it doesn't resemble
trout fishing in the Rockies, where I spent most of my life until ten
years ago.
But, it is what we have and, unless you want to float some of the
rivers, it is all we got.

Then there is the "strike indicator". Somewhere, when I was wandering
the world in Asia and the Pacific, these little pink silly putty
thingies became all the rage for nymph fishing. Well.......it looks
like bobber fishing to me.

So........I have decided to take advantage of new innovations and new
realities. I will be going out, Friday, on a trip to look at the
leaves along the Ohio River from the Mississippi up to about Covington
KY, camping as close to the river as possible. We will spend the
weekend at the N Fork, with me trying out a new system:

Ultra light spinning rig, with clear plastic bubble, about three ft.
of 2 lb. line, a BB shot, and a #22 or so zebra, sow bug, or similar.
That is the "spinning-bubble-fly" rig I used as a kid on mountain
lakes in Wyoming back in the 50's. Hey.......if it works, it works.

I will let you know.

cheers
