Default Ze whiteys have hijacked my hole

Are the whitefish taking over on the bow? Got to one of my favorite spots today, whiteys are breeching. Frig it, i'm going nymphing.

White after white, scrap after scrap - I can't believe how they're fighting this time of year. then rain, said frig it and left.

yup seems to be some big schools of the toothless snot suckers this year. One other out of character thing, there is some big schools of juvi RBT in the city limits. 2 at a time is pretty common in some runs that last year produced big fish.

Gone to a 3 inch streamer to remedy the problem

Glad i'm not the only one that's noticing... streamers sound like a plan for a while.

I'v caught nothing but RMW on nymphs lately. I pulled 5 BIG suckers in 5 casts out of this deep hole around Southland. My buddy and I pulled in a bunch of trout on big Golden Stoneflies a few days ago. Mustn't be appetizing to those stinky whitefish yet.

Hey guys,
Is there any specific area of the Bow that you're catching the whitey's at? I want to try to catch some, but I haven't had any luck yet.
