Thompson said the trip is relatively inexpensive. Members of his most recent fishing party included area anglers Tim George, Joel Lawson and Chuck Sizemore. The fish caught were all large. Thompson said he likes the White River now because he always has a chance of catching a big one like Lockhart did back in 1992. Last year, I had one hit my line and bend my pole straight into the water.
Rainbows are also numerous on the White River.
We didn't catch any great big rainbows. The brown's weren't as abundant, but were of much better quality. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom anywhere. So did the rainbows. You can catch rainbows until your arms fall off - which is what Tim and Chuck did most of the time.
