Yes, we are in Arkansas. Why? because there is very good trout fishing in the tailwater sections of a couple of north central Arkansas.
Mountain Home was listed as a premier fishing town in an article at Forbes magazine. Since it was "on the way" to Montana, we decided to stop for a few days and fish the White and North Fork Rivers.
While it was cool and comfortable in Asheville, Arkansas is a different story. It is in the low 90's and should continue in that range until we leave after 5 days. The good news is that their is very little humidity.
With the water temperature in the river at about 55F or so, it is easy to stay cool and get comfortable. The difference temperature between the river and the surroundings creates some interesting fog conditions on the river at the beginning and ends of the day.
The White River is what is called a big river, in that it is wide and can be full of water. Since the river is controlled by a dam and the dam is subject to water releases to generate power, the water level can fluctuate a lot and put our type of fishing (wading) in the "chancy" category.
