fishing the Whitewater River

Nick and I fished the Whitewater yesterday.  The weather was beautiful; the fishing was tough.  The water temp was cold and I think this had something to do with the low activity.  We threw everything we had and we were frustrated by the lack of results.  The water was off color, but I do not think that was the only reason for the slow day.  I think smallies like a classic hot and humid Cincinnati summer.  This weather might be great for your backyard cookout, but not the best for fishin'.  I tied on a red & black Beldar and that saved my day with a couple of smallies that liked what I was stripping.

Whitewater River Report 8/21/13

   

One of Lilly's first fish on the fly rod

     After seeing pictures from the Whitewater river, I knew I needed to get on it and try it out. Since my sister is heading back to college soon, I also wanted to take the opportunity to do something fun with her before her summer ended. She had only fished with me once but she took to it well and caught fish all day.

      Many of the fish we caught were on the smaller side but I hooked one or two pretty decent fish that did not make it to hand. We primarily threw baitfish patterns. Water levels were a bit low but we were able to paddle most of the time. We concentrated on riffle and tailouts. We used Morgan's canoe livery. I was very happy with their service and facilities/equipment. I would highly suggest using this livery if you want to fish the Whitewater yourself. We are offering guided trips on the Whitewater or we will be happy to help you any advice.
    

Brookville/Whitewater Fishing Reports 6/26/13

          Yesterday Louis, Nick, and I came up with a plan to fish Brookville Tailwaters in the morning for trout and then the Whitewater River in the afternoon for smallmouth.  Brookville is pretty familiar to us so were pretty excited to try some new water and the Whitewater did not dissapoint.
