Welcome to AnglerWeb!

  One of our best clients, Jon Clement came down again for a “mental health” day.  It’s his term for a day on the water, by himself, to unwind from his rat-race travel schedule.  Jon is not one for pictures so I will make this short and sweet.   Jon arrived at the normal time and we shoved off aboard The BEAST.  We hit the Hardtail spots and gathered some baits quickly then moved out to the patches to see if we could find some Ballyhoo....

  Mosquito Lagoon and Tarpon Fishing Report Bumper Sticker of the week:   This week’s Mosquito Lagoon and Tarpon Fishing Report: Monday morning Scott Radloff and I braved 20-25 knot winds and thick overcast to try fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon. I got a redfish on my first cast. I would love to say “then it got better.” That may be a bit of an exageration. We did get a half dozen each of reds and trout though, including some very solid fi...

The water level on the Spring River is fishable. This is a great place to wade fish when they are running water on the White and Norfork Rivers.

There is a lot of bedrock that can get very slick. The hot flies have been olive woolly buggers with a bit of flash, cerise and hot pink San Juan worms and Y2Ks....

Dry Run Creek has fished well. The hot flies have been sowbugs and various colored San Juan worms (worm brown, red, hot fluorescent pink and cerise). Small orange or peach eggs have been very effective. Use at least 4X tippet to increase your chances of landing these big fish. Carefully handle and release all trout. Take the biggest net that you can lay your hands on. Some of these fish are huge. While you are there take a few minutes to tour the adjacent Norfork National Fish Hatchery. It...

There has been wadable water on the Norfork almost every day. The action has picked up somewhat. With no wadable water on the White, it can get crowded, particularly on the weekends. You should fish early or late to avoid the crowds. The most productive flies have been small (size 20 or smaller) midge patterns like zebra midges (black or red with silver wire and silver bead) and Dan’s turkey tail emerger or soft hackles like my green butt or the partridge and orange. There has also be...
