Greetings from Arkansas - home of the White River. I'm an avid single hand fly fisher and just purchased a Sage Trout Spey HD in 4wt to chase big browns, cutthroat and rainbows below Bull Shoals Dam. The White is a big river with daily flows from 2,000 CFS to 18,000 CFS. During those larger releases, particularly during winter shad kills, a single hand streamer rod is a lot of work. After a trip to Oregon in June visiting some awesome fly shops and spending time catching fish on the South Santiam with a great guide, I was able to learn about spey casting. After watching countless videos I was hooked and made the investment. Looking forward to learning from everyone in here and hopefully contributing helpful information as a rookie in two handed casting.

Arkansas is on my bucket list for sure. I've seen pics and vids of this very special place.\

Welcome NWAdrew. You're in a great area, love The White River. Try going out around 10:00 pm and fishing big streamers that really push water. Lots of big fish in that river, at least there were in the '80s. We used single hand 9 ft 8 wt, but spey rods would be a blast!

Lived in Fayetteville from '93 to 2002 and fished the White all of the time, a two-hand rod would be a blast!

lots of good warm water spey fishes to be found around there as well...

Welcome!
Moved out here from Mountain Home. Used to get some funny looks from folks fishing the White while I practiced with a two hander.

Best wishes,
Bob
