I took a father and two of his boys fishing on the Little Red River this past Friday. The dad had been a few times, but the boys hadn't been in years. Fourth of July is always the busiest weekend in Heber Springs and as usual there were a ton of boats on the water. We got started about 7am and the water was still pretty high. I got the boys comfortable with their casts and by around 8:30 am, we had found a steady bite. We were able to stay in front of the water almost all day. They rotated in and out of fishing since only two anglers can fish at a time. We picked out a great spot to eat lunch once the water finally caught us. We adjusted our rigs to the high water and the guys continued to catch fish. They didn't realize we could even fish under those conditions! A couple of big fish got away but that's part of it. I guess that's why they call it fishing instead of catching! All in all I think the Harriman crew had a blast spending time together Fly Fishing on the Little Red River.
