Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.

When I lived in Dallas I used to head up to the White river to fish for trout. It has a good rainbow and brown trout fishery.

Here's a couple of linnks to check out. I would fish the river north/west of Bull Shoals lake. I especially liked the area below the Lake Taneycomo dam near Branson, MO.

The Little Red River is a bit closer to Texarkana than the White and also has some good trout fishing. I'm no expert about either river, however.
So much water, so little time!!

Steve,

Just want to wish ya the best of luck. If there is a cold water fishery to be found I'm sure you'll find the action! tongue.gif

I'm surprised you come back at all. Not only do you look like a fishbum, you're starting to act like one. dry.gif

Steve (MSU), make sure to hit the Little Red like CP mentioned.

For any info on Arkansas check this site


I know where they live, I know what they eat. Now it's time to fool them with thread, feathers and roadkill.
