Hello All

[texasdave]

I have lurked on the forum for several years. Grew up in St. Louis and fished Bull Shoals for many years. Have moved around the south and currently reside in Corpus Christi, TX. My wife and I are about 10 years from retiring. Talked about keeping are camp on the coast and buying something on the White river or one of the lakes. We plan on spending summers in Mo/Arkansas and winters in Texas. We like to trout fish and I like to fish the lakes as well. For you guys who live in the area and if you had $125K to spend on a house where would you go?

I'd say lower Bull Shoals - close to the White, Norfork and the tailwaters.

I have to agree with Lilley on that, Bull Shoals area is excellent with the White River nearby and the Lake. But if you also like urban amenities, then NW AR is worth looking at, Beaver Lake is close, Beaver tailwater for trout, and you're within commuting distance of Grand Lake, Table Rock, Tanycomo and Stockton.

I live in Bella Vista, which is considered a "Leisure Community", you don't have to be retired to live here but there are quite a few retired folks here. We've got some pretty decent bass fishing in the community lakes and reasonably priced golf if you're into that.
