This Tennessee resident was on the Little Red River near Heber Springs in recent days when he caught this nice brown trout (above) while fishing with guide Mike Winkler. Mike reports that he had Jason throwing big articulated streamers toward the bank with an 8-weight fly rod with a 330-grain sink line.

Cotter Trout Dock (870-435-6525) said trout fishing from Cotter on the tailwater of Bull Shoals Dam delivered a good quantity of fighting browns and healthy rainbows this week.

Bois d'Arc Lake - EXCELLENT. Water normal stain; 82 degrees; 0.51 feet below pool. The morning bite has slowed down a bit but still a few around pond weed and bushes.

Autumn in Bonham holds the distinction of being a Century Mile ride and features five paved routes, and three gravel routes, which includes a 13-mile "family" route all within Fannin County. Participants of past rides will recognize familiar landmarks along the 13, 28, 38, 70 & 100-mile paved routes and enjoy riding by Bois d’Arc Lake and pass the Caddo Grasslands. Riders that prefer gravel now have three routes to choose: a 28-mile, 45 mile and a 71-mile option.

"The Caddo River is a great river for all levels of paddling experience," said Gayla Claborn, owner of Caddo River Camping & Canoe in Glenwood, Arkansas. "This typical pool and drop river is gentle enough for novice paddlers to learn on, yet with enough class I and II rapids along the way to keep it exciting. There are good places to stop to swim and fish along the available routes surrounded by the beautiful Ouachita Mountains. And it is one of the most consistent floating rivers in Arkansas, allowing our season to span from March to September."

Hunts for white-tailed and mule deer, pronghorn, turkey, alligator and dove, plus guided packages for exotic species and bighorn sheep are a few types of hunts available through the Texas public drawn hunt system.

Success on harvesting a big buck like this depends largely upon proper scouting of your hunting land; modern technology makes it much easier. Luke and his buddy Jeff Rice put technology to good use this past week on a tract of very remote land. (photo by Luke Clayton)

This year’s scholarship recipients are Daniel Tortorella and Laci Eagy.

Cotter Trout Dock (870-435-6525) said, "Catching rainbows has seldom been easier than it’s been the last few weeks."

Mark Crawford with springriverfliesandguides.com (870-955-8300) said, "For spin fishing, gold and silver spinners are doing well; D2 jigs and trout cranks can work for chasing the bigger fish. The Trout Crank will get down to the fish and might catch a walleye with the rainbow trout crank."

Robert Kennedy recently hauled in a handful and then some of brown trout (a 24-incher in this photo) from the Beaver Lake tailwater while fishing with his brother, guide Austin Kennedy.
