The White River isn't the only fishery capable of coughing up huge trout. Angler can fish for big rainbows pushing fifteen-pounds, and colorful browns of titanic proportions. Hatchery cutthroat were introduced in the early 1990s, and preliminary results show that these planted trout are thriving.
Brook trout are now part of the regular catch, too.
The river has islands, swift shoals, and big boulders, making for a variety of trout habitats. Fish above the moss beds, under overhanging limbs, by submerged timber, to drop-offs, to the banks, to logjams, and to the heads and tails of pools. You'll probably hear that the Little Red has little or no dry-fly fishing, but don't believe it. Caddis flies hatch most of the warm months, stones come off in spring, and attractor patterns seem to work most of the summer. The fall trout spawn has for years been the most popular time to be on the Little Red and White Rivers, but the guides and shops finally began to realize that fishing over spawning trout is detrimental to the continued health of the fishery.
