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.

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.Stan Masneri
Second time I’ve done this particular trip.
The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is! If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.Jim C.
