I have been hitting Whitikar every weekend almost religiously since Jan 1st. The water was at a decent level early in the month, caught a couple off the main sandy bank. Then 5 hours of fishin the same location, as well as up and down the bank, absolutely nothing. Then floated Whitikar to Wildcat, we stopped and fished every single great lookin slot, tailout, and riffle and turned that short float into a 7 hour fish... Nothing... Last Saturday Jan 26th fished all up and down both sides of the bank throwing everything possible at them ( Bobber & jig, Bobber & roe, drifting a small beed- yarn ball's, coarky and yarn, even drifted some roe) Again... Nothing... The water has been Low compared to early in the month. I think "for me at least" that area fishes best at around 7-8. But I've been fishing this area for years and no how good it USUALLY is this time of year. So with the rain and warm weather we've had this week, I'm going to give it another shot this weekend. If it's still no good, Alsea here I come. We've been catching fish there (on and off) but steadily having action all month. But I'd love to see the Slaw come up a foot or 2 but not be chocolate milk and be able to produce the fish I know are in there.
