Here's the pic of that White River gator we hooked streamer fishing early one evening last week. We were stripping some big junk! Forrest Smith www.troutandtimber.com Awesome fish, Forrest! Thanks for the pic! Look for Forrest's article on Fall trout fishing in Arkansas in the latest issue of Vertical Magazine.

I met their tour bus in Mountain Home, and even though it had been dumping rain all night, we decided to take our chances and try to find some clean water to fish somewhere. I was less than optimistic, but these guys had made a special detour on their way from playing Oxford, Mississippi Wednesday night to their show in Fayetteville Thursday night to fish the White River system, so we decided to give it a shot.

Bull Shoals Dam shut off last night and stayed off 'til noon! The fish are fat and stupid right now, so get over there as soon as you can.

The redfish we found in shallow water were spooky, yet they were more...
