Travel + Leisure, a travel-based website and magazine, said Bentonville’s mountain biking is hard to beat as it named the city the “Mountain Biking Capital of the World.” The outlet said the city’s 70 miles of trails is unmatched by any other biking destination. The article also mentions the trails’ connections to the 400-mile trail network in the Northwest Arkansas area.' The article detailed how riders can see public art installations and go to bike bars that are placed along the trails in Bentonville, which are amenities unique to the area. The article also notes how the city is home to the U.S. National Mountain Bike Team and an International Mountain Biking Association Silver Level Ride Center.

Cool, good luck!

Got on the water early, very little wind, a little chilly to start, around 50 degrees. Did some bank beating to start, threw a Rock Crawler, dragged a jig - caught 4 smallmouth, one was a keeper. Decided to go up Indian, but on the way there saw some stripers breaking and ended up pursuing them. They were all around, but finicky. Got one that went around 8 lbs. on a 3.3 Keitech, had one other on briefly. There were a few smallmouth that were near the stripers except closer to the bank, and I also caught 4 more of them, 3 were keepers. The stripers were chasing small shad, I did not have anything to match those little one inch shad and they were ignoring anything else I threw at them. I might go back for them this weekend and I'll be a little better prepared - small spoons ought to work. Might bring some marabou jigs too. WT 62-64

Well good luck Mr. Babler! I'm going to go tomorrow, but I am going to chase the brown fish on the lower end of Beaver. That new Berkely Ripfish looks like a good deep water bait too. I have a couple on the way here.

Beaver Tailwater 2025 Sampling The Trout Management Program recently completed the annual sample of Beaver Tailwater. The 2025 sample was comprised of 43% Brown Trout, 54% Rainbow Trout, and a large (16 inch) Cutthroat Trout, a fish accidentally stocked by the Norfork National Fish Hatchery. The largest trout collected was a 30-inch, 15-pound Brown Trout! Several large Rainbows were also collected, with the largest measuring 19 inches.

I'll bring plates, cups, bowls and plastic ware.

Chunky fish!

There's a bedroom with a queen sized bed that now has your name on it. 👍

I booked the A-Frame for Thursday-Saturday night. Looks like it will lodge 4 comfortably. With tax it's a little over $200/night, so assuming we have a 4-way split, It will be $50 per night. Reply here if you want a reservation.

Just don't mention 2nd breakfast around Rick.

Guy put a cutout of a yak seat in his power boat so it looked like he was fishing out of yak when he took his tourney fish pics. Fisherman Caught Staging Kayak Pictures in a Bass Boat Banned from Tournaments for Cheating | Outdoor Life

I like that idea!

And windy! I've seen predictions from 17 to 23 degrees here in NWA for early next morning.

Doesn't seem like November out there, mid 70's when I left the lot around 1:30. Water temp is hanging in there at 64. Good day to fish, but not a lot of catching, I caught a little over 20 bass. 4 were keepers. They are biting the ned on chunky rock banks in 15-25 FOW. I did catch one on the Plopper, and a couple on swimbaits. Almost all spots except for a couple of sub-legal smallies. Lots of boats out there today, quite a few with power poles which usually indicates a tourney on the weekend.

Good to hear you're back! Watch out bass! There's a group of Bella Vista guys that had a club tourney on Beaver Tuesday. big bass format. Winner had a 3 something smallmouth - caught on a spinner bait.

Were they going to use those fish for bait? Some real dinks on the ground there.
