WHERE TO FISH
White River
Internationally famous trout fishing, the White River is a tailwater system and levels are dam-controlled. It is home to 4 species of trout; Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout and Brook Trout. Browns in the 30-plus-pound range and 19-pound rainbows have been taken in the shadows of towering limestone bluffs. Guided fishing trips and boat rentals are available from two outfitters in the area, Angler’s and Jack’s Resort.
Mirror Lake
A three-acre rainbow trout haven and a good option if you are wanting to take children fishing. Mirror Lake is constantly fed by the 58-degree water flowing from Blanchard Springs Caverns, 14 miles north of Mountain View, off Ark. 14. The Civilian Conservation Corps built the stone and concrete dam that created the lake during the 1930s. Blanchard Springs Caverns and recreational facilities are nearby. Camping, picnic areas, hiking trails and creek swimming holes are popular with visitors. The lake is restocked with fish periodically.
Sylamore Creek
Sylamore Creek is a clear, predominantly spring-fed stream that empties into the White River above Mountain View. Anglers will find a variety of fish including black bass, largemouth bass, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, brook trout and yellow bass here. Whether you’re spinning, fly fishing or baitcasting your chances of getting a bite are good. There are many access points on North Sylamore within the National Forest at Blanchard Springs and Gunner Pool, and at Allison where the creek converges with the White River
