I've fished some up in that area, but fish mostly down around Calico Rock, Mountain View are and downstream to Round Bottom. Got a trip planned in late October which I call "100 mile float trip". Me and a buddy are putting in at the Bull Shoals dam and floating to Guion, which is about as far down river as you can find trout. Gonna take 4 or 5 days. Looking forward to it.
