Eureka Springs, Arkansas --  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. The tailwater provides all the trout-catching action for which anyone could ask, and the cold, clear water refreshes the soul. Healthy, gorgeous rainbows have been consistently reeled in throughout the week, many of them measuring over 16 inches. 

“The best way to hook these excellent fish has been a mix of Fire Worms, Fire Bait (Pautzke sweet corn flavor) and spoons with a flash of red in them. Gold is generally the color of choice for the White River, but our experience so far is that silver blades and spoons are catching more trout than the gold. The usual mix of yellow or orange Fire Bait and shrimp Fire Gel on spoons is the best if you’re looking for a large quantity of take-home-for-dinner rainbows.

“Early morning is the best time to be on the river this time of year.
