re: Tell me where to fish with a guide...

The canoe hatch on the Spring is very real, but it is a very fun place to fish. Lots of trout, but you won't catch the size fish that you catch on the White, but it a much better place to wade. I do my fly fishing there. The most fun I have ever had with a jerk bait (more like a dozen jerk baits) is fishing under the trees on the Little Red when it was 100 degrees and they were running water. If you are looking for guide on the White Cranor's has the best, and you will catch a Big Brown. I fished Bull this past weekend and smacked the bass. It's hard to not love a place where you can go catch all 3, and usually a random walleye or big crappie. The lakes are good right now, and will be at Norfork the weekend jerking them out of the buck brush. I am from LA, and since moving to AR have absolutely fell in love with fishing in the Ozarks.
