Want to know what's working right now? I post a weekly hatch report every Thursday on Instagram, and longer write-ups live on the reports page — high-generation tactics, the fall brown pre-spawn, winter midge fishing, and more.

Resources
Everything you need to fish smarter on Taneycomo and the Little Red — straight from the people who live on these rivers.
Tools of the trade
Fish smarter, not harder.
Know what's hatching, what the dams are doing, and what you need in your pocket before you wade in.
Insect Hatch Guide
A month-by-month guide to the bugs on our tailwaters — midges, sowbugs, scuds, caddis, and mayflies — so you know what to tie on and when.
Water & Flow Apps
Generation schedules and real-time flows decide how you fish. These free apps put dam releases and CFS data in your pocket.
Licenses & Permits
You'll need a state fishing license plus a trout permit. Missouri for Taneycomo, Arkansas for the Little Red. Grab yours before your trip.
Fishing Lake Taneycomo
You'll need a Missouri fishing license and a Missouri trout permit. Both are quick to buy online through the Missouri Department of Conservation, and we'll send the links when you book.
Fishing the Little Red
You'll need an Arkansas fishing license and an Arkansas trout permit, available online from Arkansas Game & Fish. Same deal — we'll point you to exactly what you need.
Questions about gear or flows?
Just ask — I'm happy to help.
Even if you're not booking yet, I'm glad to talk hatches, flows, and where the fish are.
