I've had friends have great trips for brown trout on the White River

It is a lot of fun.
White River is the place to go.
My favorite place to go is right below the Bull Shoals Lake damn.

If you can afford it the way to go is a guided trip on day 1, then do it yourself after that. The rainbows are fairly easy to catch but the brown's are more of a challenge. Check with local bait shops and ask what they are biting on. Typically worms, gulp minnows, and artificial trout baits will work.
I am not a fly fisherman so you would need to ask around if that is your thing. Seen lots of people doing it, key appears to be finding the right bait/presentation. The trout are stacked below the damn so finding them isn't really an issue.
Boat rentals and lodging are available all along the White River.
If you are heading up, you should also consider a scheduled stop on the Buffalo River for some small mouth bass fishing. Canoe rentals are easily available and they drop you off and pick you up at designated points. Just tell them where you want to go and how long of a trip you want. (hours, days, weeks, etc) They can also point you to good floats for fishing.
Have fun.

It's a blast. Have a few different rivers to fish for them. I went with a buddy and we caught a decent amount. Water will be freezing no matter how hot outside it is.

Murfreesboro, AR.
It is the Little Missouri river. There is a little rest area on the side of the road right when you get in town. Walk down the hill and fish. The hatchery(sp?)/dam is about 4 miles north of there and the 3 times I have gone we tore them up.
GET A FISHING LICENSE!!!

I've fished there for a really long time. I love it up there.
I fish either the White or the Norfork.
