Last weekend, I wandered over to Mountain Home, Arkansas and fished
the tailwaters just below Bull Shoals Dam. They were generating power
all weekend, so the water was up.

Well there's a decent *secret* spot not too far from Mtn Home where you
don't have to watch the parade of jon boats but personally I prefer the
north fork of the White just across the border or the other non-stocked
spring creeks in southern MO.

Fishing deep with lots of lead is the ticket, often in a boat as the water
level decreases.

You might want to consider hiring a guide out of the fly shop in mtn home.


I've never fished that water, but in the tailwaters below Table Rock Dam,
I've done pretty well with small scuds, and as Wayne says, they should be
fished deep. And somewhere on Myron McKee's web site I think you'll see a
trip report that I wrote several years ago after some of our TU group went
there. Great spot.

I'm due to go up there the end of this month, and I'll let you know
how it turns out. Thanks.
