Trout Fishing on the White River
Arkansas White River is a cold-water river that is a wonderful fishery for both rainbow and brown trout. It starts as tailwaters from Bull Shoals Dam amidst the towns of Lakeview and Bull Shoals, Arkansas. The river is heavily stocked with 9” rainbows that will take any bait on a hook; that is why the task for a fly fisherman is to get through these stocked fish and find the perfect fish for White River trout fishing.

You would be able to produce power if you throw a muddler minnow just near the stumps of trees using medium-fast strength to strip it back. In the flats, there is overhanging grass and if released, the trout might still be there getting larger and larger.
Some natives have tried a black PT for a while but it returned no results at all. So when in doubt, go to the hare’s ear. Fishermen near the area usually casts their rods a couple of times before the nymph can get under the overhanging grass. It will take a number of attempts before you can get it
