Little Red River Report (part III)

Making this trip was touch and go because of all the rain. When we arrived at the White River, just outside of Bald Knob Arkansas, the White looked to be about 4-5 miles wide. With the collection of water in the fields and smaller tributaries overflowing their banks, the White actually looked more like the Mississippi River. But, the water levels of the White were also going to give us opportunity to fish the Little Red on lower water.

The Water is a Little Off-Color

Over the several day trip we made a couple different floats including from JFK Park to Winkley Shoals, which is a ten mile back buster. And, we did a float from Winkley to Lobo Landing. The Winkley to Lobo trip we made twice in one afternoon.

It was an outstanding weekend to fish, catch and relax. I am taking this formula and introducing it on our Spring trip to Tri-Cities, with the hope that others can have as much fun traveling as our group has traveling. Hope you enjoy this report and the last couple reports from the Little Red River.
