Fishing Report August 27, 2025

The weather has been absolutely perfect here in Arkansas, and with cooler temps rolling in this week it’s a great time to get out on the water.

As far as generation goes, the SWPA (Southwest Power Administration) has been releasing water in the afternoons, usually starting around 3 p.m. and only running for about an hour or two. That schedule has really opened up the river, giving anglers plenty of opportunities to wade fish throughout the day.

Fishing from the boat has been solid too, especially when working the deeper runs near moss beds or any stretch with a bit of current.

Hot flies right now include pheasant tail soft hackles, Guides Choice Hare’s Ears, pink San Juan worms, egg patterns, and midges.

It’s shaping up to be a great week to get out and enjoy some time on the Little Red.
