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.

My folks have a place in Hardy on the Spring, I go over as much as possible.

I've been trying to catch a tiger muskie there for several years. Apparently Game and Fish put some carp or suckers in either Mammoth spring or the hatchery to clean up algae. A flood came through and washed them into the main river. In response they put tiger muskie to kill all the carp

With the hot weather moving in next week, I expect they will be running water for long periods this week. They have been running 2 units from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. even the past could of days.

We're floating in canoes from Dripping Springs to Hwy. 305 on Saturday. We are going to try to get on the river well before the water makes to to the put-in, but I expect it to catch us by early afternoon. What jerk baits or hard baits have you used?

Thank you!
