Got out to hit the Beaver Tailwaters for a few hours on Saturday. Fish were pretty active and some pretty good numbers were caught. I started fishing just before 10am and had several quick hookups. Then a hatch came on and the fish were very active on the surface. I'm not an experienced fly fisher so I …
Fishing Beaver Tailwaters Feb 7th, great winter weather!
Can't believe this weather for this early in Feb. Weather was so nice to get out and fish and a lot of people thought the same thing.

Beaver Tailwaters Jan 17th, love the Pheasant Tail Nymph!
Great morning fishing the Arkansas Beaver Tailwaters! Fishing was fair on Black or Brown Zebra Midges, Pheasant Tail Nymphs, Egg Patterns and Red San Juan Worms.

Cold Day Fishing – Beaver Tailwaters Nov 14
With snow in the forecast and the temperature starting at a frigid 27 degrees, that was still not going to stop me from getting a little fly fishing in this Saturday morning. I thought about fishing many times throughout the work week and on my way from work Wednesday evening I had even convinced myself that …

Fishing Beaver Tailwaters Nov 8th
After a rough weekend last week due to the early and long generation schedule and a tough/long week at work, I was itching to get out there and catch some fish this weekend. I got up and was at the Beaver Tailwaters just a little after 7am. I decided to try a new section I …

First cold morning fishing opportunity of the year, with temps in the mid 20's. I checked the generation schedule using the link below: http://www.swpa.gov/generationschedules.aspx Found they were planning on generating from 7am to 11am for the Beaver Tailwaters, labeled as #11 across the top of the list, which means they start around 6am, and will …
