[two fish]

I'm a long time Arkansas resident and have fished/hunted for 40+ years in various regions of the state. I'm currently residing in a NE Arkansas county that has five rivers running through it. My forum ID "two fish" was a earned identity in this region, from years of being asked "how many did ya catch today?",,,,I would/still will answer by counting on my fingers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,,,,,then I'll pause for second as if I'm calculating,,,,,then I'll hold up two fingers as reply "two" total. The locals have since labeled me "two fish" and it has stuck. I love any kind of fishing available in Arkansas. Even though not familiar with fly fishing,,,,I would love to learn the art of it. Look forward to discussion about one of my passions,,,,,fishing. two fish

Welcome to the forums from north central Arkansas.

I'll have to get the map out to see which county you are referring to. I've only been down here in Arkansas for about a year (11 months actually.) I do take up art of fly fishing regularly, although I mix it up with a spinning rod or baitcaster now and then.

You should find lots of available info here and with your 40+ years of fishing and hunting in Arkansas, I'm sure you have plenty of info to offer to the rest of us.

Again, welcome to the forum.

Thanks,,,,,,I'm in Randolp County. It has a little of everything offered here in the Ozarks,,,,rivers/lakes/hills/flat lands. I'm accustomed to fishing the lakes/rivers located in the central and some southern area's of the state (Millwood Lake was my last haunt), but am adjusting to fishing these cooler clear water rivers/lakes here in the eastern ozark mountains.
