It sure felt great today to get on the water. Fly Fishing was our name, nymphing was our game! We put in at the Woods launch below Bull Shoals Dam on the White River this morning. Fly rods in hand, we were excited to fish for Rainbow trout today.

Jim wanted to keep a few for dinner so we spent a few hours boon doggling indicators for a bit. immediately we hooked several nice rainbows on scud patterns. Scud patterns and small size 18 Frenchie nymphs worked well this morning. (Frenchie is basically a pheasant tail nymph with a florescent thorax, shell pink, orange, etc.) It’s a great fly when the water is a bit off color. We also hit a few nice brown trout on eggs patterns. Brown Trout usually spawn on the Norfork, and the White during the winter months. apparently there’s still a handful spawning on the shoals.

Summertime Trout – White River Fishing Report

White River Guide — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 19:06:00 +0000

White River

“There is nothing better than a spring day in the Arkansas Ozarks fishing on one of our many rivers or streams or lakes. We’re partial to trout fishing on the White River, but when the Buffalo National River reopens, get ready for some great smallie fishing on water that has been untouched by an angler’s line for over a month! Imagine that … But, turn back to trout fishing because we’ve had a pretty awesome week. Although the three dams that ultimately affect our fishing here in the north-central area of The Natural State are all busily producing power by running tons of water into the rivers because the lakes are filled with spring rain, we’re still netting exquisite trout.
“Nearer the dams, you’ll find your best catch will be casting and trolling in the center of the river, right in the middle of the current. That’s because warmer surface water from the lakes hits the rivers when the dams use spillways to increase the amount released, and we know trout like cold water. Keep to the center when spillways are in use. No surprises that the browns continue to chase mid- to large-size sculpins; rainbows will bite at fluorescent yellow or lemon-lime eggs with shrimp. These water conditions beg for big stick baits. There’s a nicely producing Olive Green X-Rap with a 3-to 5-foot swimming depth and a flashy white feather, or the number 9 or 11 gold/black Rapala Countdowns should attract a nice selection of trout. The 3/8-ounce Smithwick suspending Super Gold Rogue or the Foxy Momma 4½-inch rogue will tempt a curious brown or cut.
“So far there aren’t any social distancing rules between anglers and trout, so plan your next trip when possible and we’ll celebrate on the river.”

The water is crystal clear. The water is high and clear, and the gates at the dam are still open. The trout bite picked up, with anglers having good results. Brown trout are going after streamers. Several Rainbows were caught as well. Trout fishing has been excellent.

That during the past week they had two rain events (combined for a little less than 2 inches), cooler temperatures and heavy winds (to include wind advisories). The lake level at Bull Shoals rose 0.3 foot to rest at 22.7 feet above seasonal power pool of 659 feet msl. This is 13.3 feet below the top of flood pool. Upstream, Table Rock fell 2.1 feet to rest at 3.3 feet above seasonal power pool and 12.7 feet below the top of flood pool. Beaver Lake rose 0.1 foot to rest at 8.4 feet above seasonal power pool and 1.2 feet below the top of flood pool. The White had heavy generation no wadable water. Norfork Lake fell 0.9 foot to rest at 16.4 feet above seasonal power pool of 553.75 feet msl and 9.8 feet below the top of flood pool. The Norfork tailwater had heavy flows and no wadable water.
The Army Corps of Engineers has opened the spillway gates on Table Rock, Bull Shoals and Norfork dams in an effort to lower the water level on these lakes quicker.
The White River has fished well. The hot has been the catch-and-release section below Bull Shoals Dam. The hot flies were olive Woolly Buggers (sizes 8, 10), Y2Ks (sizes 14, 12), prince nymphs (size 14), zebra midges (black with silver wire and silver bead or red with silver wire and silver bead sizes 16, 18), pheasant tails (size 14), ruby midges (size 18), root beer midges (size 18), pink and cerise San Juan worms (size 10), and sowbugs (size 16). Double-fly nymph rigs have been very effective (John’s current favorite combination is a deep-water worm with a weighted egg suspended below it).
Norfork Lake fell 0.9 foot to rest at 16.4 feet above seasonal power pool of 553.75 feet msl and 9.8 feet below the top of flood pool. The Norfork tailwater had heavy flows and no wadable water.
The Army Corps of Engineers has opened the spillway gates on Table Rock, Bull Shoals and Norfork dams in an effort to lower the water level on these lakes quicker.

White River Fishing Report – Winter Trout Fishing

White River Fishing Report – Winter Trout Fishing

Trophy Brown Trout in full spawning colors on the White River.

Butter Ball Brown Trout – Gorgeous Spawning Colors!

White River Fishing Report for the past few days. The weather has been mild so far this winter. We fished the White River for the past three days and found trout fishing to be excellent! Chad landed this huge brown trout (Pictured left) on a tiny micro egg. Trout fishing has been excellent even though the generation has been low. One to two generators were running on most days. It’s down to minimum flows for the winter months. White River levels were low and clear below Bull Shoals Dam.

Fishing the lower end of the riffles seemed to be the most productive for us. Water temperatures are still relatively warm, mid 40’s so trout have been very active. Late December, January and February are primary spawning times for these fish, and have been actively spawning the past few days. These trout usually continue to spawn throughout the winter months, through February.

Our best baits lately have been Power Bait eggs hooked onto a single hook and drifted along the bottom. Eggs flies have also been working well. Smaller eggs flies have been the best although it’s hard to beat the scent from Power Bait.

Both Brown Trout and Rainbows have been hot on the spawn. During certain times of the day, we could see fish actively spawning on the gravel shoals. I personally don’t fish to trout on spawning gravel but fishing behind them has been outstanding! Tons of Rainbows behind the spawning Brown trout. Limits of nice Rainbows.

During the past several weeks, water temperatures have been perfect and trout have been focused on spawning. It’s been a little bit early for winter shad kills so we’ve been spending time fishing above and below the riffles. Spawning fish generally spawn on the lower end of the riffles. Drifting baits into the deeper pools near the shallows. Here’s a bit more information on the White River Fly Fishing in Arkansas. We love it and just love trout fishing here!

Top Fly-casting mistakes and how to avoid them

White River Guide — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 09:14:21 +0000

White River fishing report

Fly-casting is not simple. Like any ability worth knowing, fly-casting expertise takes a while to develop—in some years. However, according to White River fishing report, the good factor is that anglers pretty much make similar mistakes, & that means your casting faults have probably been tackled by someone beforehand.

Of all the methods casters screw up the presentation of their flies, these five stand out as the top mistakes. They are also the most common, & the fixes for them provide you the biggest outcomes once you make the required tweaks to your stroke.

1. Forcing Your Cast – The Force is Stronger with You

According to White River fishing, a few fly casters have the inclination to force the fly line where they want it to go rather than letting the putter (fly line & fly rod) do the job for them.

As your rod loads up the line, momentum accumulates & allows the line to convey your fly where it ought to go. The most crucial thing is not being excessively forceful with every false cast. You should allow your rod to innately load the line on the rod tip & provide sufficient time for your loop to develop before moving thru with the subsequent casting stage.

Moreover, this will ensure that you develop a smooth cast that doesn’t harm accuracy or brings down the line’s momentum. So, if you are planning on a fishing trip to the White River, first read the White River fishing reports thoroughly.

2. Lowering the Tip of the Rod

To flycast long ranges, it’s crucial to keep your casting line up & unobstructed during the false casts. To do this, it’s essential to keep the tip of the rod up consistently. If you drop the rod tip on your back or forward cast, the loop you have built will start to open & the momentum in your casting line will dramatically go down. Making this issue allows your line no choice other than to drop.

According to White River fishing report, to fix this issue, anticipate you are tossing every false cast up above the roof of a two-story building, which is roughly 20 feet behind you & one that is 20 feet in front of you. Generally, this will help you keep the tip of the rod up while letting you focus on casting the fishing line up & back & up & forward.

The outcome of doing this will help you maintain the momentum & your casting distance will increase as well.

3. Not Hauling Casting Line in Step with the Rod’s Load

As newbies get comfier with fly casting, they often find out that hauling lines either in one or two hauls will drastically enhance the speed of the line, making casting in the wind more enjoyable. While that’s true, this is where multiple issues might start as well.

According to White River fishing, learning how to efficiently haul the line can be a tough process. It’s crucial to understand how to do a single haul correctly before you might perfectly time a two hauled fly cast. However, the single haul is performed by first lifting the casting line off the water ahead of you. As the tip of the rod loads & become elevated, you’ll make a quick stretch of line with your hand. If you make that stretch too late or too soon, the line won’t increase the pressure of the load on the tip & the whole effort will be in vain.

If done right, you will notice a rise in line speed as the loop forms strongly behind you following the back-cast.

4. Moving the rod Forward & Backward on Different Lines

Before you opt for the White River fishing guides, know that this is very common & most individuals never notice they’re doing it unless it’s highlighted to them. The mistake is made when you move your rod in a single direction during the back cast, but you fail to maintain that similar line moving onward.

You will notice you are making this mistake if your line keeps on coming back on itself or is continuously developing a swinging motion over the end of the front loop. Concentrating on this casting mistake is real easy & correct outcomes are immediately seen every time the caster holds the same line. Accuracy & momentum are also greatly affected by this.

5. Casting Square with the Body

It’s very common for most individuals to want to stand with squared shoulders when directly facing their mark. However, this is usually not the appropriate position to be in when trying to delicately & accurately deliver a fly to a fish.

Apart from squaring off your shoulders with the target, place yourself at an angle with the casting arm further away from the target. According to White River fishing report, this will compel you to cast in a gesture that crosses between your body in front of you apart from fishing off to your side.

Moreover, this angle is the same as the stance you take when shooting a shotgun or a rifle. Doing this will improve accuracy & allow you to stare down the line as your front loop advances towards the target.
