Jackson River

[Fire-Fly]

I fished the Jackson River on July 13. This was my first trip to the river. I fished the public access points and behind the Dam. I caught about 15 small bows behind the dam in about 30 minutes time but all were small around 6-7 inches. The other points i didnt catch as many but more size, i caught 8 bows about 10 inches and 5 browns all around 8 inches. Caught one rainbow at the smith bridge point it measured 17 inches and guessing at the weight was around 2.5 to 3 pounds. I caught all these fish on a size 14 black beetle with orange parachute.

That's a great day up there, I've never been so it's always good to hear a report from the Jackson.

Glad to see someone is getting out on the Jackson tailwater. There is a healthy poplulation of small trout in the 8-10 range in both browns and bows, almost to the point where they get to be a nusiance on some trips. But there are also some really ncie fish in that water like your 17-incher.

Glad you had a good time.
