White River Fly Fishing
 Come with us to fly fish the White River for trophy brown trout. The White River in the Arkansas Ozarks is home to the largest brown trout in the U.S. Did you know that the tail water fisheries of Arkansas have produced the last four all tackle brown trout records? The last three were 34lbs, 38 lbs. and 40 lbs. Big trophy Brown Trout. Really big.
Advantages of our section of the White River
We are located 5 miles below the confluence of where the North Fork River enters the White River. The fresh renewing of cold water from the North Fork River keeps our waters cold enough for the trout in our section of the river to remain very healthy, even though we are 45 miles downstream form the Bull Shoals Dam, we are only 10 miles downstream from the Norfork Lake Dam. We are always surprised by the number of anglers who don’t realize that great trout fishing is available downstream of the first 20 miles below Bull Shoals Dam. While the upper sections of the White River do have great fishing and I guide in those areas frequently, I catch just as many fish down river in our section.
What’s different about our section of the White River.
It is much less developed. Yes, you’ll see a few houses, but you’ll also notice that 90% of the banks are forest or empty pasture. For many, this is more enjoyable than looking at one house or resort after another that line the banks of the upper river.
There are a lot fewer anglers. There are a lot fewer boats. There are as many trout per mile per angler as anywhere on the river. This equals to the same fish catching experience without the crowds of the upper White.
What do the rivers look like & what are the most common flies used?
The White River is a big river. 75 to 250 yards across with it’s trout waters stretching for 90 miles. It has shallow riffles, deep fast runs, and deep holes. The bottom can be moss and grass covered, clean gravel or solid rock with many ledges and fractures to hide big fish. The White River fishes like a big river. You can successfully employ many different tactics to catch fish. For the fly fisher, streamers imitating baitfish, crayfish, and small trout will produce some of the largest fish in high water conditions. We also employ unique methods of deep nymphing during periods of high water.
North Fork River Fly Fishing
The North Fork River is much smaller than the White. It averages 35 -50 yards across and at low water 80% of the river can be waded. The North Fork tends to have low water levels more often than the White River so it is popular with fly fishermen, who enjoy wading. Within this river’s catch & release areas, the fishing is technically demanding, often requiring anglers to fish tiny flies on light tippets. 3 wt to 4 wt 9’ rods are the right stick to use.
My goal is to use my experience and knowledge gained from other guides, to provide you with accurate information and techniques needed to successfully fly fish the White River. I believe that anyone considering this destination deserves an accurate description of our fishing.
