Capt. Rouse with beautiful Miss Abby. Missing her today. Can’t believe it’s been since July that we lost her. She could melt the coldest of hearts with those big brown eyes.
Throwback of a fun day on the lake with Abby.
BLACK AND WHITE GALLERY
In the process of organizing some files, I ran across these. Jamie was playing around with a new lens he had gotten for his camera right before Thomas was born. Thought I would post them on the blog.

TROUT BLITZ!
The shad bite has been unbelievable! Sunday was epic! For about a three hour window it seemed like all three of our boats had doubles every time I looked. When the fly hit the water, a big beautiful fish absolutely HAMMERED it! It was maybe the craziest three hours of fishing I have ever seen!
My man Will ! Will used flies he tied to catch his fish today. Including 3 fish on his dries.
Andy cut his beard down to a rally stache for his Shadalicous experience! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Um, do you think this fish is fat on shad?

IS THE POLAR VORTEX OVER?
It looks like we’re going to have really mild temps back in the area by this weekend. We are starting to get cranked for the rest of our shad and streamer fishing bonanza over the next couple of months.
Here are some cool pics over this past week on the Little Red. Hope you enjoy!
Happy New Year! It’s going to be a great 2014! Tight lines!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the JRFFA Team!
Another beautiful brown trout on the Little Red River.
Happy Holidays!
Hope everyone is doing well! We’ve had a great fall season. However, fishing is just starting to really get interesting. As many of you know, we have had a low generation, no water fall. We are starting to see periods of generation now, and fishing has gone nuts. This should continue for awhile. Come on out, we have the cure for the winter time blues. This is the time of year when the schedule slows down and the fishing picks up. If you see a weather forecast you like, don’t hesitate to call and see what openings we have.
Also, remember the shad kill on the White and Norfork should get started pretty soon.
We have been posting often, so if you’re not already, follow us on Instagram, facebook, and twitter for recent fish pics and updates.
As always, our gift certificates make the perfect gift. We have them available on our website if you want to pay with paypal or credit card, or just email us if you want to pay check.
By the way, this is our new boat dog, Lucy. She is a Plott hound rescue. I haven’t had a work/fishing companion since Sage passed away over six years ago. Lucy did an awesome job on her maiden voyage!
Hope eveyone has a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
Thanks,
Capt. Jamie, Kati, Matt, Capt. Tony, and Herb
