Mike Winkler of Little River Fly Fishing Trips (501-507-3688) said Greers Ferry Lake is 8.1 feet above normal pool. The Army Corps of Engineers are on a pretty consistent generation schedule usually starting around 7 a.m. and running two units of generation until 7 p.m. The bite has been good. Try fishing pink San Juan worms, or egg patterns underneath an indicator. Vary your depths depending on where you put in. Reported by: Arkansas F&G |

About: -
Little Red River: One of the most popular blue ribbon fishing
and floating streams in Arkansas, the lower Little Red River are the
tailwaters of Greers Ferry Dam near the town of Heber Springs. The
Little Red eventually merges with the White River at the Hurricane
Lake Wildlife Management Area just east of Searcy.
The Ozark scenery is outstanding, and can offset one of those rare
occasions when the fish aren't biting. The river is regularly
stocked and for the most part fishes well all year round. In the
cooler winter months larger browns tend to be more active.
The all-tackle, world record brown (40
pounds, 4 ounces) was caught in May 1992 in the Little
Red River below Greers Ferry Lake by H. Rip Collins.
Access: The
Corps of Engineers public ramp is located the north
bank, next to the Federal Fish Hatchery, may be the
easiest access to the upper portion of the river. Other
public access points on the middle and lower stretches
of the river. maintained by the Arkansas Game and Fish
Commission, include Barnett (Winkley Bridge), Lobo
(adjacent to Lobo Landing Trout Dock, Dripping Springs,
and Ramsey. Four commercial boat docks also offer launch
ramps.
Please note most of the land bordering the river is
privately-owned and is posted.
