Arkansas trout fishing?
The music minister in our church, Bro. Jeff loves to trout fish. I am thinking about bringing him to Arkansas and giving him a trout fishing trip to show him my appreciation for his dedication to our church, Unity Baptist Church in Cotton Valley, LA., which is about 12 miles from the Arkansas line, at Springhill.
I am a crappie fisherman and know nothing about trout fishing or where to go. Since I would like to surprise Bro. Jeff, I don't want to ask him where to go. I also don't have a ton of money to spend so this is going to have to be a do-it-yourself trip. In other words, no guides. LOL. I do have a travel trailer to stay in so accomodations aren't a problem.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. I would like to keep the trip time under 4-5 hours if possible. Thank yall, in advance, for your help. I already have an out-of-state license. Will I need anything else to be legal for trout fishing? Is boat necessary? I have my crappie boat if one will help. If we come I promise to leave the crappie alone. LOL.
The Lord is good. His mercy and love endures forever.
