White River
White River. Article 1
This blue ribbon trout fishery is located in the heart of Arkansas in the Ozark Mountain Range. Many a keen fishermen will have tried their luck here.
In addition to the efforts driven by the local conservation, the water from the White River runs clean and cold from its source in the Boston Mountains of the Ozarks.
The tail water effect provides stable cold water temperatures and excellent trout habitat.
It's not enough to just throw some bait on a hook and cast.
If you want to increase your odds of coming home with a cooler of fresh trout to clean, or at least have a great fishing day with some successful catch and release action, you need to employ some tried and true trout fishing strategy when fishing here.
In my many years of fishing, I'd be hard-pressed to find a more friendly, easy-going and informative group of people.
But the people of Arkansas and the outfitters of this river are friendly, open and ready to answer any questions you may have.
It's not easy all the time to keep your balance when you are actually in the river, wearing big waders, boots, and all your equipment.
However, there are key areas where fishing from the bank is available.
Because the White River is regulated by dams and dam water pressure, learn and understand how the riverbed can potentially affect your fishing and where you may find the most fish.
Changing water levels can easily threaten unsuspecting wading fishermen.
Take time to explore the rivers and look for grassy river bottom areas, shady tree areas, and other nooks and pockets where trout may hang out later in the day. It is a very good idea to survey the river before fishing, as the survey will yield valuable information on water flow, where fish may be lying, and which way to approach them when fishing.

For a list of local knowledge for the White River, you will have to wait for the blogs two and three, because of the length of this article I have split it into three parts.
