Arkansas is a beautiful land of mountains and valleys, thick forests and fertile plains which attracts visitors from across the United States and abroad. Many are drawn to the abundant opportunities for outdoor adventures, such as unbelievable Trout fishing, mighty Bass fishing, and for anglers and non-anglers alike, there is always the opportunity to explore underground caverns, discover ancient caves and follow forested mountain trails. Some come to dig for keeper diamonds and quartz crystals; there are so many reasons why Arkansas is a 'must see,' holiday destination!

The damming of many rivers for the generation of electricity has facilitated good quality fishing in both natural and manmade lakes. It is these lakes and rivers, coupled with the state's excellent fishery stocking and management program that has made Arkansas such an ideal fishing destination for both the novice and experienced angler.

Freshwater game fish such as Large Mouth Bass, Walleye, Crappie, Bream and Catfish can all be found in these waters, together with the mighty Striped Bass weighing between 25 and 40lbs, many of which are caught on a regular basis. You can also fish the rivers and tail waters from the dams, which can provide the fly angler with completely different fishing conditions within the same day, as the waters rise and fall in response to the demand for electricity. Low water offers great wading fish, while float-fishing from a boat is ideal when the power generators are at work. All four species of Trout, (Brook, Rainbow, Cut-throat and Brown) provide exceptional fishing. With 180 Trout in just two days fishing for two anglers being a realistic catch, surely this is an opportunity you cannot afford to miss!
