The wife and I skipped up the the BEAUTIFUL Ozark mountains of Arkansas over the weekend for some frigid fishing.  Friday was not too bad, after the rains stopped in the morning,as the temps were in the 30's(over freezing) and not much wind.  We ended up catching a total of 7 browns and a couple dozen rainbows.

Saturday was a different story, with the overnight low of 7, we started fishing with a grand temp of 16.  Factor in the windchill of being on the river and it was -3.  Coldest I have ever fished!  We had another good day landing another 7 browns, with not as many rainbows as the day before, but still a good number.

Sunday we woke to about the same temperatures, but no wind, so this morning it was 17 when we started, and warmed right up to 28 by mid day.  Today was considerably tougher, as we experienced a shad kill.  Normally this would have been lights out, but the shad kill actually started around 8:30 last night, and as you could imagine, the fish were full by 8 am when we got out on the water.  We caught 9 rainbows today with no browns, but overall it was a great trip!

And now for a couple pictures.....

Beautiful fish! Was this on the White River by chance? I'll be there the second week of March for the first time and might like to pick your brains a little about what to expect/bring.
Shawnee, KS. Don't get to fish tournaments much because of work. I fish everywhere within about a 2 hour drive. I have a couple boats but nothing fancy. I spend a lot of time on smaller lakes but fish La Cygne, Melvern, and Perry quite a bit too.
