Can someone direct me where I will find information about getting an out of state fishing license and fishing regulations especially on the Buffalo?

Thanks

You will need a Non-Resident license.....they offer different time lenghts.

Per AGFC website....

Buffalo River (Ozark Zone Blue Ribbon Stream)

Smallmouth bass daily limit is two and each must be at least 14 inches long to keep. From confluence with Clabber Creek downstream to the confluence with the White River, smallmouth bass daily limit is 1 and must be at least 18 inches or longer to keep. Outboard motors may not be used on the Buffalo River upstream from Erbie Ford, nor larger than 10 horsepower from Erbie to the White River.

That was quick! Thanks Zack, that is exactly what I was looking for. I will be catch and release on small and largemouth but what about panfish like rock bass? There are no size limits or season on those in Missouri. Is it similar in Arkansas? I have a fry pan that just loves goggle eye.

I dont think there is alot in the way of regs for the panfish. They tend to be a bit more hearty and grow a bit quicker than the smallies. Bobber should be along pretty quick. He is the king of the Buffalo.

I am hoping to get the dift boat on the Buffalo some this year. It is too pretty of a river to not float on it.

Thanks bobber. That is just the info I was looking for. We are floating end of April and with any luck the weather and water will co-operate.
