Weekly Fishing Report for 4.28.14
Water Flow: Medium High
Visibility: 36 inches
Water Temp at Midday: 55
Water Conditions: Stained
Tip: After this last rain event, the lake has jumped 2 ½ feet and counting. Generation has remained very fishable with a good window for fishing daily. I would imagine they are not generating around the clock yet due to flooding in the lower White.

Little Red Sunset
WHEELS
What does Matt Millner do when he is not guiding? Well, about a year ago he bought his first road bike. He’s now on bike three and fully obsessed with the cycling sport .On the days when he’s not guiding, you’ll see him peddling all over the state! He’s training under Leborne Coaching in Little Rock and is scheduled to race plenty of 50-60 milers early in the summer as well as several century (100 mile) events later in the summer including the Eurekan and the famous Big Dam Bridge 100!
You may notice there is no beard. Perhaps he is now a little more aerodynamic. Good luck to Matt in his upcoming races!

Little Red River
The Little Red River runs through the gateway of the Ozarks near Heber Springs, Arkansas. It is a tailwater. The dam creates a massive lake, Greers Ferry. Below Greers Ferry Dam you will find some of the country’s best trout fishing. The Little Red rolls along 82 miles before it meets up with the White River. Roughly 45 miles of this are considered quality trout water. The river is full of a healthy population of rainbow trout. Some are wild, but most are stocked. The jewels of the famed Little Red are the brown trout. Our browns are an all wild population. Recently, the Little Red River was the home of the world record brown trout. Part of the Little Red’s success is the abundant aquatic life. Most of these fish are getting fat on crustaceans, sow bugs, scuds, and crawfish. And of course, the larger browns enjoy a rainbow snack. We have a few hatches consisting of march browns and caddis that can deliver some dry fly fishing. Nymphing ends up being the standard for most. For those that are looking for large browns the Red is a streamer fisherman’s delight. Come anytime of year. With constant water temperatures, the Little Red is a TRUE year round fishery.
