Caught the big one on a size 12 egg pattern in pink and yellow.. Also had good luck on a size 16 trout crack.

Caught this one last week on the Norfork. The skin was real smooth and the coloring was much darker than the other rainbows we caught. Also noticed the pink rainbow didn't extend to the tail and the spots were round. Whatya think?

Caught this gal last week near the confluence. She was 26" and weighed 7.75lbs on my hand scale. Took 41 minutes to get her to the net as I was using 6x tippet. Caught a few other nice ones on the trip. Pretty cutthroat Wife with a nice rainbow Pretty brown

Very nice!

Just got back to south Texas after spending 3 weeks chasing trout in Arkansas. Weather was pretty cold but only 1 day of light snow. Winter is my favorite time of the year to fish up there. The trout are showing their spawning colors and we always seem to catch bigger fish on average. Also many days you have the river to yourself. Had the best luck on Y2K's and sculpin imitations. Here's a few pictures.... Wife with a nice cutthroat My biggest cutthroat to date at just over 20" Nicely colored rainbow Another cutthroat Norfork brown Spring river brown

Yep, retirement is great!

Yeah, the Spring river is great during the fall, winter and spring when the canoe crowds disappear. Most days you have the river to yourself.

Spent the last 3 weeks in north Arkansas chasing trout. Weather was a bit chilly with lows in the 20's and highs in the 40's. Hot spot this trip was the Spring river. Also spent 3 afternoons on the Norfork since they were running the generators in the mornings. Best fly was a Y2K since the trout were in spawning mode. Also caught a few larger fish on a black woolly bugger. Lost 2 real pigs on this trip. First one was a Spring river rainbow that hit the woolly bugger in a deep shoal. Only had her on for a few seconds before the hook pulled, but got a good look at her and I would estimate around 24-25". Second one was a Norfork brown that took the Y2k. Set the hook and she took off downstream and then the 6x tippet broke just above the fly. I think she was hooked inside the mouth and the tippet frayed on her teeth. She looked to be in the mid 20's also. Here are a few pics. Wife with a Norfork rainbow Spring river rainbow Spring river brown Playing one on the Norfork Another Spring river rainbow ;

I sure hope you find the piece of trash .
