White River

 First it might be informative if I showed you where we are, courtesy of Google Earth.

  Bull Shoals lake was created by damming the White river. The dam is also used for power generation, serving parts of 6 states I am told. When they are not releasing water you can almost walk across it. Because they have had a wet year the lake is full and 5 of 6 gates are open. The water comes from the bottom of the lake and is about 50 degrees in temp. This cold water then creates fog on the river that comes and goes. It is well known for trout fishing. Four types: brown, rainbow, brook and cutthroat are caught in the river. I managed to find the dumbest trout in the river, a 10 inch Brown. The water is crystal clear and I saw it hit my lure. Of course, I released it after thanking it for the excitement.

ps:
I was trying to cook shrimp scampi while also editing that video. The result is not something I am proud, of but will leave it up for now. I can, and will, produce better videos to give you a view and a feel for our experience. Frustrated with my still photography results and having fun learning video shooting and editing, thus more video and fewer photos.
