It IS a really pretty area....and home of a lot of world record fishing....especially trout. Some of the world's biggest catfish come out of Arkansas too, but a little furthur south. There are still some big catfish pulled out of these waters. Mountain Home is situated between Lake Norfork, Bull Shoals Lake and the White River, all reputed to be some of the best fishing in the world. Too bad I don't fish. LOL!
"The White and North Fork Rivers have produced many of the world line-class records. The second largest Brown ever caught by any method was taken in the North Fork River, and it was a world record for several years, weighing 38 pounds 9 ounces. Both the White and the North Fork have produced a slew of 20 to 30 pounders, including a 33 pound and a 34 pounder. The largest Brown ever caught was taken in the Little Red River, Arkansas, about 80 miles south of Mountain Home."

Here's the Arkansas record blue catfish catch...116 lbs. 12 oz. (The world record is 139 lbs +)
