Was just thinking that this would be a good idea to help me get use to the area once we get settled. My wife and I are really looking forward to moving to the heart of God's country.

Are there any good recommendations on a guide book for the area that will show me where there is walk-in access, and other info about both the White and
Norfork?

Oh yeah, I plan on joining the North Arkansas Fly Fishers group and see I get a book with that, but will also be looking for other resources.

Look at the HOME WATERS book published by Mid-South Fly Fishers. It has detailed descriptions, maps and information on of the White, Norfork and many other
rivers and streams in the area. It is available at most fly shops.

' Home Waters ' without a doubt. Excellent coverage of Ark's area waters. Worth every penny.
Another decent book is ' Ozark Trout Tales ' by Steven Wright. Mix of fly / spin / bait fishing info. cheers, Brian

Very hard to find Ozark Trout tails to day.
You might also be interested to have the White River DVD l did some years ago. This covers the White river for 60 miles from BSDam to Calico and the Norfork. Details all access points, the different shoals, good wading water and covers some of the best techniques to use fishing the rivers, and a bunch more great info. DW

As the others have said, the Home Waters book is great. I also highly recommend Davy's White River DVD.

There is also a MAP of the rivers with detailed access points and all the shoals are marked as well. $8 or $ bucks.

Sometime back I heard that Wright was going to do an update on this book (or maybe it was just a reissue). Anyone else heard this?

Dave that is correct, as some us spent time with Steve so new editions could be added to update the new issue. Matter of interest l will call Steve about this
as last time l talked with him he told me it was going ahead.
