YELLVILLE – If ever there was anyone you couldn’t say enough good things about, it’s Roger Vickers. Lawman. Family man. Good man. Friend. Those are just some of the words people shared after learning of the Marion County sheriff’s passing. Vickers, 67, lost his battle with cancer Thursday. “It’s a great impact. Everybody here is taking it real hard,” said Lt. Bill Hilligoss of theMarion County Sheriff’s Office. “He was a great man and a great leader in the community. He will be greatly missed.” For those of you that fished the White River and the lower Bull Shoals, you may have known Roger Vickers, the Sheriff of Marion County, Arkansas. Roger passed away last night after a battle with cancer. He was a true gentleman and worked hard to protect the community. He will be greatly missed. His family has our condolences and prayers.....

When some one calls a white person a cracker, in what context do you honestly think it is used? As a friendly way to greet some one? Or is it used as an offensive term to belittle a white person, because the person using the term is racist themselves, and is certainly not using it in a friendly manner? The speaker is not using the word with the intent to be polite. So, to say it's not racist is unfair, and that would be like me saying the "N" word isn't racist.

My son and I went up crooked creek Saturday from the White River. It was still up a little; however, the water was still very cloudy. I called it "milkshake" on Saturday. We tossed a few spinner baits with no luck.We went back out to the White and switched back to trout fishing....Tonight we got more rain and more is forecasted.... Otis

Fishing can be done on Norfork Lake and Bull Shoals Lake. White River State Park just below the dam at Bull Shoals. Fishing on the White River. Hiking can be done at Devil's Backbone (Mark Twain N.F.) or Caney Mountain Conservation Area. No hot springs close by. Local Watering holes include Royal 66, Buffalo Wild Wings, Arena Sports Bar and Grill in Mountain Home,Arkansas. Arkansas non-resident 7 day fishinglicense = $25.00 - Trout Permit $12.00 - If you are a Missouri Resident then a border lakes permit will cover Norfork and Bull Shoals lakes BUT NOT the tail-waters. Hope y'all have a great time! Otis

Ham: Apparently you weren't close enough to hear the operator say, "Here, hold my beer - Watch this." LOL

Totally Awesome! I can only imagine the stories he will tell about catching a world record fish with his Grandpa!

The Meth head....he gets arrested as he walks out and gets put on probation......

My son and I worked the White River today from Rim Shoals down to Fletcher Mountain. Dam releases today averaged 10,500 CFS. Plenty of water today....We tried everything under the sun. Zig Jigs, Lindy grubs, sculpzillas, rapalas, and roostertails with mixed success. After about 3:00 pm today the bite turned on while we were using 1/4oz Rainbow and Brown Trout Roostertails. Shot some video of our catches but can't figure out how to upload it from my old video camera...I will post it when I figure it out. We pulled out numerous 10 inch trout but did land some nice larger Rainbows. The browns we caught were 12-16 inches in size.We anchored once in Shoestring Shoals to haul in a few Rainbows but drifted everywhere else. Overall a great father/ son day on the River.

I agree with rps....I think this horse has been rode hard, put up wet and has died.....

How deep is the water there?

Been having a debate with my son. I would have released it. My son would have released it into grease. As I told him, If I have a huge 12 point deer on the farm, I will leave him and take the eight...Or If I have a non-typical I will take him. I think the same holds true with fish. I will get some good photos and if I want a mount, I will order a replica from my photos.

In Missouri the criminal charge is Unlawful Use of a Weapon. It is a Class D Felony punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 and imprisonment up to 4 years.

No...that's the bridge just below Dawt Mill....
