Fishing Around Mountain Home

[883]

Ok my questions for fishing around Mountain Home.

What is a Tailwater?

Is it any river below the dams?

I have a medium ugly stick rod with 6lb test line.

To catch trout on it should I use worms off the bottom or use a bobber or should I use something different all together.

I also have an ultralite rod I would like to setup for spinners.

How would you set it up with line weight and type of spinners?

Where is a good place to start fishing off the bank around Mountain Home?

Thanks

You got it right. A tailwater is the river below a dam.

When spinning..go as light as possible on the line. Ultralights are fine tailwater fishing.

You won't be able to fish bait just below the Bull Shoals dam on the white, although you can fish bait just below the Norfork dam. Watch for signs stating artificial only and abide by the catch and release rules sections. If I was going to fish from the bank right now it would be the Norfork at Quarry Park or at the handicapped section. Have fun out there.
