Catches 125 to 200 Fish Common Place

You avid "fisherfolks" are really missing some outstanding fishing. For over three weeks the water levels have been very low/clear and the fish extremely active. Catches of 125 to 200 fish per day have been common place and once in a while a good one makes a mistake and hops on!!

White River Zig Jigs and Rapalas have been the mainstay. They are easy to use and continually put fish in the boat. Book a trip and come enjoy what is going on. With no rain the lakes are low and the river will continue to stay low unless we get an enormous amount of rain.

Opening Day 2012 Turkey Season

....and what an opening day of Turkey Season it was!! Nancy and I shot two gobblers at 7:40 a.m. on opening day (yesterday). Obviously we were excited and had a great time shooting them while hunting together.

We love Spring & Fall turkey hunting and have been enjoying the sport together for many years.......Fishing has been great of late and no reason to think it will change!

Perfect Weather - Spring In The Arkansas Ozarks

The weather conditions have been absolutely perfect for weeks & weeks. Take a look at the fog (been setting in each morning for weeks)coming down the river......what a sunset....it has been like that for weeks as well.

It almost gets boring it is so pretty. There is so much water in the lakes that they are running flood gates to eliminate flooding problems should we get our normal April rains. The river is as high as it can be without a flooding problem.Very clear and the fish still bite!

Smallmouth Lessons

I'm teaching him everything I know!! We went scouting for Smallmouth yesterday morning and guess what?? Mikes first cast produced this nice Smallmouth. What we found in our area of the river is that the Smallmouth are not biting out on the White but get into any small feeder creek and there are definitely some there.

Gitzits were the bait (as usual). The trout are biting good on the White River and you can catch them on Rapalas, Rogues or Zig Jigs.....the water is right, the weather is great and the fish are biting....book a few days at LINGER'S GUIDE SERVICE & FISHING LODGE and enjoy this early Spring!!

The river levels have been very consistent....the best weather in 25 years.....it has been fishing weather all Fall and Winter......there have been virtually NO days we could not fish but the river is empty.

Not hardly any one fishing on the river and it has been absolutely beautiful for weeks and weeks. The long term weather forecast is showing more of the same.

Winter Snow On The White

It finally happened!! We had two days of winter which produced 3 inches of snow over night. If you have not fished the White & Norfork during a snow you have missed a very rewarding experience.

Right after the snow we got out on the river and had a super morning while enjoying the wonderful scenery. Caught a lot of fish but no large ones. Rapala, Rogue and Jigs....you don't need another lure to enjoy your fishing time!

Catch and Release News

We have been catching fish like crazy.....Jigs, Rapalas, Rogues and also on the fly rod......You folks certainly missed February 1st! That is the first day that the CATCH & RELEASE AREA IS OPEN BELOW BULLSHOALS DAM....IT CLOSES OCTOBER 1ST AND YOU CAN'T FISH IT UNTIL FEBRUARY 1ST.

Boats and fishermen were wall to wall trying to get to the fish that had not been pursued for four full months. Think about that for next year! The really good news is that now you can use as many treble hooks as you want to IN ALL CATCH & RELEASE AREAS.....you just have to pinch down the barbs.It certainly improves your chances of hooking up with Mister Big Boy!!
