For All the FISHERMEN/WOMEN among us...EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

[LadyRev]

HeavenlyOne and I are making a trip to Arkansas to see my parents.

My dad has booked a guided trout fishing trip on the White River near Mountain Home for ALL DAY Saturday!

When I lived in the Memphis area, I used to fish the Little Red River and loved it but I never made it to the White River which is world reknown for its record sized trout. Especially big ole brown trout!

I trout fish here in WI too but its not the same as Arkansas fishing. Trout fishing here is hard and the big fish are rare.

HeavenlyOne has never trout fished...this will be an experience for her she won't soon forget.

I can't wait! Eat your heart out guys and gals! But wish us LUCK on Sat.!

I don't think folks fly fish much in the south. I think the closest we come to large scale fly fishing would trolling around the house with a fly swatter.

I don't fly fish and neither does my dad. We spincast. But when I fished on the Little Red, the locals taught me their method of trout fishing using a barrel swivel, bullet sinker and tiny hooks with either powerbait or salmon eggs. Cast out and let the current carry it down and BAM! they hit it.

I used to drive 3 hours to get to my favorite spot and in an hour I'd be limited out for the day! Lots of fun but too short! LOL!

I tried spincasting on the Little Red and didn't have any luck. I got tired of watching all the locals pulling in fish while I got nothing. I finally just asked some people what to do. They don't mind sharing their knowledge either. ~L~

I'm going to try both on the White River and see what happens.

I will be taking pics. Of course, no matter what, LR will outfish me. She will outfish her dad too!

I can't wait. I'm excited.

No. They will be staying with my sister in southern Illinois while we head down to LR's parent's for the weekend. It's too much to take them along too with only a minivan.

Trout fishing? For those two? HA! Unless our guide is a miracle worker, they'd run out of patience way too fast. LOL!

I'll take em fishing when we get back home.
