White River – Eureka Springs – Roaring River
Made the trip 200 miles south to explore some new trout Tailwaters near Broken Bow, OK. My buddy Alex and I stopped in and fished the Lower Mountain Fork River in the Beaver Bend State Park. All I can say is Wow!. It is such a beautiful area and …

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 …
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. Haven't seen so many people out both bait fishing and fly fishing since early October. Fishing was good on midges (purple, blue dun, rootbeer, rainbow) and tan scuds. …

Started the year out great with 3 straight days of fishing. I was able to get out for a few hours of fishing the Beaver Tailwaters each day to start this year. I was going to go for four, but my friend ended up sick this morning and with snow, cold weather and strong wind and …
Another great day to hit the water for the New Year. Fishing was a little tough this morning. I only managed to land one fish on a Rootbeer Midge and that was after I had tried nearly everything in my fly box. When I got to the Beaver Tailwaters around 9:30am, I found they had …
Nice cold day for fishing. Great way to start the New Year! Big winter storm pushing our way today, but I still managed to get out and get a couple hours fishing in this afternoon on the Beaver Tailwaters. The fish were pretty active on the surface, but I haven't figured out how to get …
Great morning fishing in the cold and freezing rain. Fishing was pretty productive with several different midge patterns. Good midges were Black with silver, Black with copper, White with red thorax, Blue dun, Purple, and Rootbeer. Sub-micro jigs in white and olive were productive as well. Caught around 30 fish in about 4 hours. Weather …
Great morning fishing!!!! Great morning fishing the Beaver Tailwaters. Morning started out pretty cold, then the sun came out and it was beautiful. Almost got warm enough to take off my jacket. Then the wind picked up and the cloud cover came back and the temp dropped. Didn't get real cold, but it did a …
