One of the favorite destinations of club members is the White and Norfork Rivers around Mountain Home, Arkansas. If you are new to the club this would be an excellent opportunity to fish some of the best trout water within easy driving distance of Kansas City and get to know other club members better.

 

Jim Jorgensen would like for any club members interested in attending to contact him so he can keep track of those signing up. Also, any club members who are interested in attending and would like some assistance in finding a ride or sharing a room may contact him and he will let you know who else is in a similar situation. He will also keep others informed of who is going prior to the event.

 

We will be staying at the White Sands Motel near Cotter, Arkansas. See their advertisement in the newsletter for additional information (Rates/night with tax:  $41.62 single, $50.22 double, and $72.15 for club room that sleeps four).

 

The restaurant at White Sands is open and under separate management. Also available nearby is the Brass Door Motel (see advertisement the newsletter for information). Everyone is responsible for making their own reservations and coordinating any outside activities.

 

The club will meet for dinner on Saturday night at the Brass Door Restaurant in Gassville, Ark. around 7:00 pm.

 

The White and Norfork Rivers are both tailwater fisheries. Since these are both power generation dams water fluctuations need to be consider. Flow rates for Bull Shoals are available by calling 913/595-6779.

 

If you are new it will be helpful to fish with other club members that have been there before to help you find your way around and select the prime fishing spots based on water flow. For fishing information and directions see the newsletter articles by John Bell. You can find the local weather here. Another good source for fly patterns and other stream information is Dale Fulton’s Blue Ribbon Flies www.mtnhome.net/brf/  (see advertisement in the newsletter).
