Fly fishing Arkansas rivers with streamers, nymphing, and even dry flies can be very successful depending on time of year and water conditions. It’s a little known fact that Arkansas has some of the best fishing in the Lower 48.
Hotspots for Fly Fishing Arkansas
The Little Red River, White River (arguably the best brown trout fishery in the US), Norfork River and the Spring River are our four rivers that produce amazingly beautiful trout year round. All of these rivers are located in northern Arkansas with The Little Red River in Heber Springs being the closest to central Arkansas.
Little Red River
White River
- Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Bonneville Cutthroat, Finespot Cutthroat, and Brook Trout.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.
Thank you,

What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
