some nice brown trout
White river, Arkansas
A few weeksago my Dad and I caught maybe 20-25 browns in the 14-22" inch range, 6 between 16-22". Most were males, 1-2 were smaller females. We caught some nice rainbows, but nothing that had a "wow" factor. 3 weeks ago I had a very nice rainbow on, maybe 6-7 pounds, broke my line very close to the boat
We're going out Tommorrow and Saturday, I'll post again when I get back. We're attacking a catch and release zone and above/below it maybe with some live crawdad's as well to try and entice a big brown or rainbow.
I'd expect one of us to get a 2 1/2 pound small mouth or bigger along the way too, maybe even a ncie 3-4 pound largemouth

wow nice browns,,,, is there any faster shallower water there, you could use a fly rod to catch them????I'm in oklahoma ,,arkansas is not too far away to give a try, especially if you can catch 16-22" browns
