Buffalo River - The river is very low from the headwaters to the Highway 14 bridge. Much dragging will be experienced. After the bridge the water level is low but floatable. Be aware that you may have to drag your boat in places. River level is 2.64 feet and flowing at 139 cfs near Harriet at the Highway 14 Bridge.The really hot weather has pushed the best times for fishing to early morning and late evening. Soft plastics such as 4" Zoom lizards, baby brush hogs and tube baits in greens and brown shades are working best.Fly fishing is good with top water stuff in the evening and subsurface flies all other times. Crazy Dads, Clouser Minnows and muted colors of Sparkle Grubs are working best.

Crooked Creek - The river level is 10.93 feet and a flow of 119 cfs. This is about 1.5 feet below the low water bridge at Kelly's Access. Smallmouth fishing continues to be very good on the creek. Crawdad patterns bounced on the bottom along with Clouser Minnows (both Deep Minnows and the Darter series) and KC's Slider have been picking up some good fish.

King's River - The river level is 2.44 feet and a flow of 31 cfs at the Grandview Bridge. This is normal for this time of year. Floating is still possible but there will be dragging involved. The fishing has been consistant with soft plastics with a Zoom 4" lizard in green pumpkin or watermelon red working best. Fly fishing with smaller flies (sizes #4-#10) will get you as many sunfish as you care to catch. Popping bugs, streamers and San Juan worms are the best bets for sunfish on a fly rod.

Beaver Tailwaters (White River) - Beaver Lake level is 1116.82 feet which is almost 4 feet under Conservation Pool level. Table Rock Lake continues to be about a foot into the flood pool making some areas tough to wade at Beaver. Water releases have been in the afternoon with wadeable water most mornings. Gray bead head sowbug/scuds, Zebra midges in blue dun and marabou tail midges have been picking up a lot of healthy fish. Most days the fish are holding tight to the bottom. Asv the day goes on switch to darker beads if fly fishing and muted colored lures if you are spin fishing. The flash seems to be turning off the fish later in the day.

Norfork Tailwater- Lake level-551.25ft
Generation has been starting around 2:00pm which is giving anglers plenty of low water wade fishing. Hoppers, hoppers, hoppers! Use a grasshopper pattern with a scud/sowbug as the dropper. Try various sizes &/or colors for the hopper. Some days they'll go for a size 4 yellow and other days it might be a size 12 tan. Some suggested hopper patterns to try are; Chubby Chernobyl, Rainey's Grand Hopper, Charlie Boy and Dave's Hopper.

Bull Shoals- Lake level: 653.61ft. Bull Shoals lake is right at conservation pool, which is 654.0ft. Generation has mostly been around the clock with some low water early in the day, especially on the weekends. Generation has been averaging 1-3 soft units with some wadeable water. Hopper patterns seem to be part of the setup while fishing. Try a hopper/dropper rig with a scud/sowbug or zebra midge as the dropper. The hopper will be your indicator if you get a strike on the subsurface nymph. Varying the size and color of your hopper pattern can improve your success. Suggested patterns: humpback scud, BH Simple Sow, zebra midge, Rainy's Grand Hopper, Charlie Boy Hopper & Dave's Hopper.
