Caddo River Fish Story?

[Troutdude]

I recently spoke with a friend from many years ago and he made mention of an occasional trout being caught on the Caddo. I took this little tidbit of info with a grain of salt as my friend has in the past been well known for his tall tales. Not wanting to completely rule out the possibility, I did as much research as possible and came up with zero trout information on the Caddo. However, I cannot rule out the slim chance that a privately owned and stocked spring branch flows into the Caddo at some point and that this may be the source of the suspect tall trout tail. Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers and Happy New Year!

I caught a rainbow on the Caddo a few weeks ago. Maybe they stock them in Lake Degray. The only other scenario I can think of is if the towns of Glenwood or Norman put on a fishing derby of some sort and have a few stocked. Dan-o

Dan-o what section of the Caddo?

[Danimal]

Arrowhead campground to Glenwood.Discussed it with another guy who was floating downriver and he said he saw a pod of rainbows taking bugs on the surface so there were definitely a few in the river. I don't think they could survive the summer due to warming water temps. Dan-o

Cool Dan-o! I will keep my eyes out. I agree, the summer will likely be the end for them.

On a side note, I see you're in Ft. Smith. Know anything about Dutch Creek? I have read/been told the brownies are pretty healthy over there.
