The Little Red below Greers Ferry is central Arkansas's trophy-brown river, and it carries some genuine history — it once gave up a world-record brown trout, and the reach has held big fish ever since. It's a classic Ozark generation tailwater: cold, rich, and entirely at the mercy of the dam. Low water is technical wade fishing over gravel and weed with midges, sowbugs and scuds; generation is drift-boat water where the big browns move to streamers in the push and the low light. It broadens the Arkansas picture beyond the White/Norfork complex and gives Little Rock anglers a tailwater of their own. Same rule as all of them: know the generation schedule before you commit, because the river answers to the powerhouse, not the sky.
