Warren -

I'm sitting here wondering how I missed this thread until this morning. You must have started it on one of my moving days and it got away from me from the get go. ( Glad some others finally caught up with it, too, and brought it back to the top of the list !! )

Anyway, sounds like a great time, high water or not. Hopefully you will get to fish it at more reasonable flows, soon, and report on how some of those big bows feel and fight.

Good for the pine squirrel streamer, too. That has been a real winner everywhere I've fished it, and for others who have used it or a similar pine squirrel streamer, like NightAngler's Hibernator.

P.S. Some time ago, I read that fishing bigger rivers like they are thirty feet wide ( on the margins ) makes them much more approachable and usually results in greater success. Methinks you made that point very well with your experience on the White.
