Regulations/ Catch&release Areas

[Guest]

I'm having trouble finding any special regulations for trout on the Spring River.

Are there any catch & release, trophy areas, or barbless hook regulations.

Also, species length limit or slot limit.

Any help is appreciated.

You're having trouble because there are none. Only statewide regulations for trout fishing apply on the Spring River.

Five fish limit, you must have an Arkansas trout permit to keep trout. No other regs, its pretty much a free for all anyway up there.

The above is true for Rainbow Trout. Like other streams, Browns, Brook Trout, and Cutthroats have a size limit and a catch 16" and 2 fish per day restriction (Brooks 14", 2 fish per day). No Trout Stamp required to fish there, it is to keep trout.

Arkansas fishing rules and regs are here.
