Arkansas Fishing

Postby feedcall » Thu May 03, 2007 9:40 am

I have fished the White a couple of times this year, and thinking about trying the Little Red, the upper White, and the Norfolk. Has anyone fly fished these waters? and what is your favorite? Both trips to the White have been great this year, just wanting to fish some different water.

my favorite is the norfolk. sow bug is the #1 choice on the norfolk. and the wooly booger never fails. san juan worms work well sometimes and midges do as well.

go to mountain home, ark. best place for fly fishin around

The Norfork is akin to fishing the spillway when crappie are running on weekends. Too many people. The Little Red can be the same. If you want to catch some fish and not deal with huge crowds, go the the upper fork of the White or better yet, the Spring River. If you are strictly trying to catch big trout, try the Norfork, although many of the fish that are big ( 20+ inches) will be in catch and release "trophy waters."

I fish the Little Red with my Grandfather all the time. We always have a blast on that dude. Very pretty to go down too.
