Mammoth Spring, Arkansas -- The Spring River has taken a beating from Mother Nature this spring, including the Jim Hinkle Spring River State Fish Hatchery being flooded and suffering major damage, but anglers like Will Heaton are getting back on the Spring and catching rainbows as things calm down some. Heaton caught a nice rainbow trout recently while fishing with guide Mark Crawford. Note the dingy to muddy water; the Spring is running well above its average flow this week.
Check out Crawford's report from the Spring River, as well as a lot more news from our contributors around the state, by clicking the button below.
Of particular note is a new report from the Buffalo River, thanks to our friends at Fish n' Stuff in Sherwood, where we're told anglers have been catching quite a few smallmouth bass of late. Here's hoping we start seeing a little less rain; but then, we know that just means the Arkansas summer will be fully upon us as it usually is after Memorial Day.
Enjoy the holiday and remember what it means.
