Eureka Springs, Arkansas -- Guide Austin Kennedy (479-244-0039) said, “Well, we were able to get out a couple times before this last batch of cold weather came in. One thing that does not disappoint is catching trout on the White River. Orange Fire Eggs along with garlic peach Fire Bait are reliable baits to provide a lot of action and help you catch some rainbows. The slightly warmer daytime temperatures for the next week mean a good time to pick up your rod and reel and get outside. When you see a rise in the water, reach for some Fire Worms. The browns have given some attention to minnows, along with some jerkbaits.

“Rule of thumb: Gold spinners and spoons will work best when the sky is clear and sunny; change to silver-colored baits when fishing under overcast skies.

“Pretty soon, the walleye will be pushing up for the spawn. We will start looking for them pretty soon, hopefully reporting some good news in the next couple weeks. Remember to follow my Facebook page Busch Mountain Fishing Guide Service for weekly updates.”
