"Summer is returning with a vengeance this week, although pop-up rainstorms persist even this late into July," says the folks at Cotter Trout Dock. "The heat is back on, but trout fishing on the White keeps us cool."

Guide Austin Kennedy (479-244-0039) says, "If you’re looking for a place to escape from the heat but where the fishing is hot, the Beaver tailwater is the answer."
