Trout Fishing River Ridge Arkansas

overview
One Hundred and eighty Trout in two days fishing for 2 anglers (a recent guest catch) in one of the most relaxing environments one can find. 

Fly fishermen will already be aware of the legendary fishing that the waters of the North Fork and White River have to offer. This was home to the world record Brown Trout 38 lbs. 9 oz. until a new world record (40 lbs. 4 oz) beat it. Will you catch a new, world record? We sure hope so. Will you catch fish? Most definitely! All these rivers are tail waters; they run off from dammed lakes controlling the flow, which varies throughout the day. This allows you to fish the river in various degrees of flow, therefore providing you with the opportunity to fish all kinds of different fly methods in the same day. Thanks to careful management the rivers are just teaming with medium to big Brown, Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout for you to enjoy. 

One of the real beauties of this trip is the fishing with our guide John, who is Orvis approved and in fact was the Orvis guide of the year in 1998. John has a wealth of fishing knowledge and it is a real experience and pleasure to fish with this man. Just when you thought you knew it all John will show you something else to try. 

Wildlife is abundant along the banks of the rivers. Eagles, deer, elk, black bear, beaver, fox, waterfowl and maybe even a razorback are likely to cross your path while you meander down one of the streets. Not all of this beauty will put more fish on your line, but it will make this fishing holiday more memorable.
