The White River below Bull Shoals Dam in northern Arkansas is one of the premier trout fishing waters in America. This bold statement is, in my opinion, unquestionable. Yet, the White isn't the only river in the region worth traveling to for trout fishing. The Norfork River and the North Fork of the White River are each special destinations in their own right.
