The White River is a 92 mile stretch of Bull Shoals tail-water that twists down from the dam beneath Bull Shoals Lake. The waters contain a variety of rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout. Some of the greatest fly fishing areas in the world are found here. This is also the home of several trout records.

Below Bull Shoals Dam, the White River takes on an entirely different character. Here it is internationally known for premier trout fishing. Flyfishing is extremely popular on the White during low water periods, but most anglers opt for the standard White River rig -- a 16 to 20-foot johnboat equipped with a 10-20 horsepower motor. The Game and Fish Commission stocks hundreds of thousands of rainbows in the White annually, and more than 90 percent of them are caught each year by anglers who come here from all corners of the globe. Numerous guide services, outfitters, trout docks, and resorts have been established to help out. Other fishing opportunities found here include trout fishing on the North Fork of the White below Norfork Dam. The Crooked Creek and Buffalo River junctions are also good lunker trout holes. Smallmouth bass fishing is good at the mouths of feeder streams, including the mouths of Sylamore Creek, Buffalo River, Rocky Bayou and Piney Creek.
