The Trip
The overview.
The Spring River is born from Mammoth Spring, one of the largest springs in the Ozarks, and it runs cold and clear every day of the year. That constant flow makes it a year-round trout fishery tucked into the Arkansas hills, with smallmouth bass mixed in where the water warms downstream.
We base out of riverside cabins walking distance from the access points, with two guides for a group of four. Expect a mix of wade-fishing riffles and deep bend pools, with the best action in the early morning and again in the last hour of light.
