Rained Out Fishin Trip

Went down to Heber Springs, Arkansas to fish the Little Red River for trout. We had gotten a guide in the past and the crew caught plenty of fish. This time was a different story. It has been raining like crazy for the past week or so. The river was flooded and full of mud and silt making it really difficult, even with a guide, to catch fish. We went for it anyway and out of 6 people we only caught a total of 10 fish. It also poured on us the whole time. The time spent was fun though, especially considering the conditions. I ended up catching 3 trout, 2 brown and 1 rainbow. There was a few bets going, 1st bet was for the 1st trout caught, 5$. 2nd bet was biggest trout caught, 5$. I ended up winning both, 50$! So even though we got rained out the second day of the trip, and I'm home a day early, the trip was fun, regardless of winning any kind of money.

Murky Conditions


The first fish! Its a bummer though, he got hooked wrong and didn't make it. Thanks Buddy.


The largest catch of the day, 18 3/4 inch Brown trout. He put up a good fight.
