Does anyone know how to get to this location from Siloam Springs, AR or West Siloam Springs, OK? Is this the same Watts that is just off of 59 headed south? Are there good signs to the access point? I am going fishing tomorrow morning so I am trying to decide where to go...always nice to find new locations!

Thanks for the tip Brian, I appreciate it.

Hey, I was thinking about trying to hit the NFOW sometime in the near future and was wondering where the public accesses are at for some good wade fishing. I will be headed that way from the Fayetteville area in Northwest Arkansas. Any tips would be great. thanks, tx

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, didn't make it out there Saturday morning due to the storms in the area early.

Considering a trip this weekend, how is the river with all of the rain we have had recently?

Looking to go out to the Kings for some small mouth this weekend, anyone know what the water is like over there since the recent rains? I checked the USGS near Barryville on the Kings and it looked like the flows were about normal. I would probably get in at the Marble Access. Any tips are appreciated. thanks, tx

Sounds good. Maybe I will see you out there Saturday morning. You should be able to find me in a forest green Malibu kayak.

Are they still generating around the clock this week? Might head down there this Saturday morning...

Thanks for the heads up guys. I have never actually been out there, but only heard legends of it from friends here in NW Arkansas. After your tips, I think I might try and head out to Rim Shoals instead.... thanks tx

How would one get to the Rim Shoals Ferry from Mountain Home? I am not from the area, but I will be in Mountain Home this weekend and I am looking for some dependable wade fishing spots to hit on Saturday morning and Sunday; sounds like Rim Shoals is my best bet...you also mentioned Norfork? Any advice on times to get on either of these waters would be appreciated. Thanks, tx

Anyone know what the conditions have been like out at Norfork lately? I am not from the area, but I will be in Mountain Home this weekend so I was hoping to try and wade fish a good portion of the tailwater for some trout. Any tips or links to resources would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, tx

Thanks for the tip, but we ended up not going anyways...wife got sick late Thursday night and had to go into the doctor on Friday. Oh well, I will make it out there sometime...

Anyone know how the lake is fishing or what kind of patterns the fish are holding in right now? thanks, tx

Planning to drive down to the river on Saturday morning. Hoping to just hop in and wade fish. Does anyone know of any good areas near Kyle's Landing to drive a small compact car up close to the river? Hoping not to get stuck on some dirt road that my wife and I can't maneuver in her little 91 Corolla Thanks, tx

Just thought I would let you guys know I did get out there on the 4th and had a pretty good time. Surprisingly quiet on the water with almost no other anglers around. I fished below the catch and release area since I didn't want to deal with the barbless hooks on this particular day. Not a whole lot in the way of catching (two SMALLmouth on the fly), but beautiful scenery made up for it. Did run into quite a few snakes down there so keep your eyes open if you are headed that way. Also saw one little otter scurrying along the bank that morning, I was surprised he didn't have any buddies with him. Thanks for the tips, had a great time on the water. tx

Anyone have any experience on the Little Missouri River in Southwest AR? I live in Northwest AR and have no real knowledge of the area, but I am meeting some of my folks in Texarkana this weekend and would like to hit the water with my brother and Dad. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, tx

Anyone around here have one of these? I have been looking at them for a while and I think I will probably buy one in the near future if I can find one somewhere. Any information, personal reviews, etc would be appreciated thanks, tx

Sorry, but I am going to be the dumb guy who asks for directions to this place...I thought that the Illinois intersected with interstate 59 near Watts, but I didn't know that the Illinois had trout. I was actually considering making a trip out there this weekend to try and find some smallmouth...any tips?

Thanks for the tip!

So I am not too great at predicting generation times yet, but it looks like over the last week or so they have started generating around 6am and run until 10 from the charts. Am I reading this right? Has anyone been down there to see what the generation is like or how the water is since all of this winter weather came through? I was considering a trip with a buddy tomorrow morning, but I don't know now with all of this runoff...any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I will be there when the horn sounds!

8-4 is allowable fishing time during C&R right?

What are the allowable fishing hours for Roaring during C&R? I was thinking 8-4, but I would hate to be wrong and show up too early or too late...

Just noticed that I had a double post, not sure how that happened. Anyways, how is the snow looking that way? I am about an hour and a half southwest and we have had some but it has probably been less than half an inch...

Considering a trip this weekend, how are the water conditions looking? Also, are all three zones open to fishing right now? Thanks, tx
