Hope everyone has had a great holiday! Now, it’s time to get serious!

As I say every year, we are entering my favorite season to fish. From now until April we will be focusing on large predatory browns looking to fatten up post spawn. We also expect to jump in to some cool “shad kill” action during this time of year. We have some great dates left. Don’t miss out! It seems the biggest fish we catch every year come in the next few months…

Enjoy this gallery from the past several weeks of fishing!

See you soon,

Jamie

FALL IS HERE!

So excited as we jump into fall! Jamie and I just got back with our pack from Florida. Tony just got back from Alaska and Matt is headed to Arkansas next week! That means we will have our full team together, which makes me super happy. We will probably celebrate with a team dinner of vegan quinoa! Matt loves it and the consensus from the carnivorous guides is that it is surprisingly good.

We have just a few fall spots left and winter is starting to get full. Go ahead and let me know if you have some dates in mind, so that you don’t miss out!

Enjoy this little gallery from the last few weeks!

Fish happy,

Kati

The Little Red River runs through the gateway of the Ozarks near Heber Springs, Arkansas. It is a tailwater. The dam creates a massive lake, Greers Ferry. Below Greers Ferry Dam you will find some of the country’s best trout fishing. The Little Red rolls along 82 miles before it meets up with the White River. Roughly 45 miles of this are considered quality trout water. The river is full of a healthy population of rainbow trout. Some are wild, but most are stocked. The jewels of the famed Little Red are the brown trout. Our browns are an all wild population. Recently, the Little Red River was the home of the world record brown trout. Part of the Little Red’s success is the abundant aquatic life. Most of these fish are getting fat on crustaceans, sow bugs, scuds, and crawfish. And of course, the larger browns enjoy a rainbow snack. We have a few hatches consisting of march browns and caddis that can deliver some dry fly fishing. Nymphing ends up being the standard for most. For those that are looking for large browns the Red is a streamer fisherman’s delight. Come anytime of year. With constant water temperatures, the Little Red is a TRUE year round fishery.

Hope everyone is doing well! We’ve had a great fall season. However, fishing is just starting to really get interesting. As many of you know, we have had a low generation, no water fall. We are starting to see periods of generation now, and fishing has gone nuts. This should continue for awhile. Come on out, we have the cure for the winter time blues. This is the time of year when the schedule slows down and the fishing picks up. If you see a weather forecast you like, don’t hesitate to call and see what openings we have.

Also, remember the shad kill on the White and Norfork should get started pretty soon.

We have been posting often, so if you’re not already, follow us on Instagram, facebook, and twitter for recent fish pics and updates.

As always, our gift certificates make the perfect gift. We have them available on our website if you want to pay with paypal or credit card, or just email us if you want to pay check.

By the way, this is our new boat dog, Lucy. She is a Plott hound rescue. I haven’t had a work/fishing companion since Sage passed away over six years ago. Lucy did an awesome job on her maiden voyage!

Hope eveyone has a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

Thanks,

Capt. Jamie, Kati, Matt, Capt. Tony, and Herb
