Every Which Way for White River Trout

"How else can we catch them?" Eric Naig asked White River guide Frank Saska with a hint of a laugh in his voice. We'd been catching brown and rainbow trout since leaving the dock and had caught them several different ways.

Without skipping a beat, Saska proposed still another technique, took us to a conducive bank and gave us a quick tutorial. Soon after we were both catching trout yet another way.

The fast-paced fish catching and potential for massive brown trout is part of why the Gaston's White River Resort is one of my favorite places in the world to visit. But I also love the bluff-bounded river itself, the friendly folks who run Gaston's, the amazing shore lunches, the history of the area, the realization that there could be world-record fish swimming nearby... The list could go on and on

Our biggest fish producers today were black marabou jigs. We angled Northland Bug-A-Boos downstream, and used a snap-and-drop presentation that's popular on the White River and is extremely effective.

At dinner tonight folks talked like we must have been miserable out there this morning, fishing in a pretty steady and cold rain. The truth is that Eric and I hardly noticed that it was raining. We were having too much fun catching trout!
