>> OH IT'S NICE.

GOOD.

OKAY.

I MAY GET YOU TO DROP THAT BACK OUT.

>> OKAY.

>> RIGHT THERE.

>> IT'S NOT EVERYDAY YOU GET TO HOOK UP WITH ONE OF THE TOP FLY FISHERMEN IN THE WORLD.

CHUCK FARNETH FROM HEBER SPRINGS IS CURRENTLY RANKED SEVENTH AND WAS ESPN'S GOLD FLY MEDALISTS AND YOU MIGHT SAY THAT CHUCK FARNETH KNOWS A THING OR TWO ABOUT FLY FISHING.

>> NOW, WHEN YOU PUSH I WANT YOU TO PUSH YOUR ARM OUT AND SNAP YOUR THUMB.

THERE IS THE CAST.

NOW THE ROD IS DOWN.

THIS STAYS IN YOUR MIDDLE FINK ONLY.

YOUR LEFT HAND HOLD THIS IS LINE.

>> OKAY.

>> YOU'RE GOING TO POINT TO THE INDICATOR.

PULL THE LINE WITH THE LEFT HAND AND YOU HAVE SLACK AND YOU WANT TO TAKE OUT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND I MENDED AND A MANAGEMENT OF LINE THAT YOU CALL MEND AND MOVE IT SO IT DOESN'T HINDER THE DRIFT OF THE FLY.

THAT INDICATOR HELPS YOU A LOT AND SEE THE SPEED THAT IT'S TRAVELING AND IT'S BELOW 5 FEET OF THE INDICATOR AND WHEN THE FISH TAKES IT IT WILL MOVE THE INDICATOR AND PULL WITH YOUR LEFT THROUGH THAT FINGER.

EVERYBODY GETS EXCITED AND THEY SEEM TO FORGET THE FACT THAT THE LINE HAS TO GO THROUGH THE FINGER AND THEY PULL IT OUT OF THE FINGER AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO.

DO I SEEN THEM PUT IT IN THEIR MOUTH TO CONTROL THE TENSION BUT THIS CONTROLS THE TENSION HERE.

I CALL THAT IS THE CONTROLLER.

THIS IS THE DIRECTOR AND YOUR THUMB IS POINTING TOWARDS THE TIP OF THE ROD SO WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU?

ANYTHING THAT YOU DO YOU POINT YOUR THUMB TO WHERE YOU WANT TO CAST SO WHEN YOU COME UP AND POINT YOUR THUMB OVER THERE THAT'S WHERE YOUR FLY IS GOING TO GO.

SEE THAT?

>> CONTRARY TO OTHER OTHERS MAY TELL YOU FLY FISHING IS NOT ALL IN THE WRIST.

>> COME OVER HERE AND OVER YOUR SHOULDER AND CAST TO THE RIGHT.

AND PUSH YOUR THUMB HARD.

DO IT ONE MORE TIME.

WAIT.

NOW PUSH HARD.

NOT BAD.

YOU'RE GETTING A LITTLE WRISTY AND THE FORM.

LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.

STOP.

PULL THIS BACK REAL SLOW.

NOW WHEN YOU PUSH -- SEE THE ENERGY?

THAT'S THE ENERGY YOU WANT.

DON'T USE YOUR WRIST.

I WANT TO YOU PUSH YOUR ARM.

>> IT'S NOT ALL IN THE WRIST.

>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

PUSH IT.

THAT'S IT.

GOOD.

SEE HOW MUCH FURTHER YOU GOT?

IF YOU DO THIS YOU'RE TELLING THE LINE TO GO UP IN THE AIR AND GO DOWN.

YOU WANT TO PUSH IT.

SO WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS LIFTING IT DRIFT WITH THE CURRENT.

WE'RE FEEDING THE FISH.

THEY SIT FACING UPSTREAM AND WILL TAKE THE FOOD AS IT DRIFTS BY AND WE ARE CASTING UPSTREAM AND GO DOWN TO THE FISH NATURAL AND THE MORE NATURAL IT LOOKS THE BETTER THE RESPONSE.

MORE FREQUENTLY YOU WILL GET STRIKES AND THEN YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOOK UP MORE FREQUENTLY AND ENJOY THE BONUS OF CATCHING.

>> AND CATCHING IS WHAT I WAS ANXIOUSLY WAITING ON.

>> NOW SEE THAT LITTLE RING RIGHT THERE YOU HAVE A FISH.

IF YOU LIFT THE ROD UP CAN YOU CATCH IT AND PULL WITH YOUR LEFT HAND.

THIS IS YOUR DRAG IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH SPINNING RODS.

THE FINGER CONTROLS THE TENSION.

REMEMBER I SAID IT BEING A CONTROLLER?

>> YEAH.

>> THAT'S THE DRAG AND IF YOU TRY TO STOP THE FISH THE LINE IS LIGHT ENOUGH HE WILL BREAK IT SO WHAT YOU DO IS JUST TAKE YOUR TIME.

KEEP THE ROD UP LIKE THAT SO IT BENDS.

>> YEAH.

>> IT PROTECTS THE LINE AS WELL AND CONTROLS THE DIRECTION OF THE FISH.

SEE WHERE HE WANTS TO GO?

LIKE ANY FISH HE WILL GO FOR STRUCTURE SO IF YOU KEEP YOUR ARM UP HIGH WE CAN PULL HIM OVER THE TOP AND I HAVE TO HAVE A NET WITH A LONG HANDLE SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO QUITE AS FAR AND SCOOP HIM UP LIKE THAT.

THIS IS THE EASIEST PART OF THE GAI.

I USE BARBLESS HOOKS.

IT'S OUT ALREADY.

AS SOON AS YOU RELEASE THE TENSION THE FISH IS RELEASED AND WE PUT THEM RIGHT BACK IN THE WATER.

>> WITH FLY FISHING IT'S VERY EASY TO LOSE INTEREST IF YOU'RE NOT CATCHING ANYTHING VERSUS THE TYPICAL ROD AND REAL BAITFISHING.

>> CONFIDENCE IS A HUGE FACTOR IN FISHING, JUST ANGLING ITSELF, SO YOU HAVE YOUR CONFIDENCE LURE, YOUR CONFIDENCE ROD AND ALL THE BAITS THAT YOU USE.

THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WILL TAKE YOU OUT AND KEEPING FISHING FOR HOURS AND HOURS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN SOMETHING YOU CAUGHT FISH ON LAST TIME YOU WENT.

IF YOU PUT SOMETHING NEW IN SOMEBODY'S HAND THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS LOW.

THEY JUST WANT TO TRY IT.

IT'S AN INTREEK.

THEY WANT TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, MAYBE MORE CHALLENGING FOR THEM, BUT IT GETS TO THE POINT IF THEY DON'T HAVE GOOD INSTRUCTION, LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IT WILL DETER THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT DOING IT PROPERLY.

SEE THAT STRIKE.

YOU MISSED THAT TOO.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON IT WHILE I TALK, SO THE POINT IS PEOPLE GO OUT WITH A FLY ROD WITH GOOD INTENTIONS BUT THEY GET FRUSTRATED AND DISCOURAGED ANDED ROD SITS IN THE CORNER FOR DECADES AND UNTIL THE GRANDKIDS GROW UP AND WE WILL TRY IT AGAIN BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.

THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD INSTRUCTION OUT THERE, WHETHER IT'S THE INTERNET, YOUTUBE.

THERE ARE GUIDE SERVICES ALL OVER ARKANSAS IF WE STAY HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE PHENOMENAL TROUT WATER HERE, BEST IN THE WORLD.

IT'S ONE OF THE WAYS THAT I FIND TO BE THERAPEUTIC.

THAT'S PROBABLY THE REASON I STARTED FLY FISHING.

NUMBER ONE I LOVE CHALLENGES.

BAITFISHING WAS JUST TOO EASY AND I DIDN'T WANT TO KILL ALL OF THE FISH I CAUGHT AND I CAUGHT A LOT AND OFTENTIMES THEY SWALLOW THE BAIT AND THE HOOK WILL GET INTO INTERNALS AND TEAR IT AND IT WILL CAUSE THE FISH TO DIE EVEN THOUGH IT SWIMS OFF IT WILL DIE, AND I JUST TRY TO CATCH AND RELEASE SO SOMEBODY ELSE CAN COME OUT AND ENJOY IT.

ALL RIGHT.

>> FANETH TALKED TO WHAT IT MEANT TO BE HOOKED ON FISHING WHEN HE WAS YOUNG INSTEAD OF OTHER THINGS.

>> I LEARNED IT AS A YOUNGSTER AND I VALUE THAT BECAUSE I SEE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T TAKEN AN INTEREST IN FISHING.

THEY HAVE INTEREST IN OTHER THINGS BUT FISHING ISN'T ONE OF THEM AND I FOUND IT WAS ONE OF THOSE ACTIVITIES THAT KEPT ME FROM GETTING INTO TOO MUCH TROUBLE SO I FEEL IT'S SOMETHING I CAN HELP CONTRIBUTE TO A YOUNG MAN'S OR YOUNG LADY'S LIFE AND HAVE THEM CHOOSE SOMETHING OTHER THAN MISCHIEF.

I WILL PUT IT THAT WAY BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY THINGS THEY WILL GRAVITATE TOWARDS TO GET THEM INTO TROUBLE AND GIVE DIRECTION IN LIFE AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO IN LEGACY AND THAT OCCUPIES A LOT OF OF MY TIME AND WE HAVE GUESTS COME IN, FATHERS AND SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND MEN'S GROUPS AND COME TO LEARN ABOUT THAT BUT ALSO LEARN A LOT ABOUT FLY FISHING.

>> AFTER CATCHING A FEW MORE RAINBOWS WE DECIDED TO MOVE DOWN STREAM FOR THE BROWNS.

FIRST A SMALL ONE AND THEN TO THE SIZE MORE LIKE WE WERE AFTER IN THE FIRST PLACE.

>> HOLD ON.

LET HIM TAKE IT.

YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE.

THAT'S WHAT WE CAME HERE FOR RIGHT THERE CHUCK.

YOU GOT A GOOD ONE AND WHAT YOU WANT TO DO -- LET'S MAKE SURE THE LINE ISN'T AROUND ANYTHING.

IN YOUR MIDDLE FINGER.

PERFECT.

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

KEEP THAT TENSION.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

WHEN HE PULLS LET HIM TAKE IT THROUGH YOUR FINGER.

GOOD JOB.

SEE YOU LEARNED ON THAT ONE.

>> YEAH.

>> PERFECT.

NICE JOB.

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR RIGHT THERE BUD.

>> AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE 10 MINUTES OF ME TRYING TO GET THE BETTER OF THIS BROWN I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET HIM CLOSE TO THE BOAT.

>> THERE WE GO.

HE TRIED TO GET AWAY, DIDN'T HE?

>> HE TRIED.

>> NICE CATCH.

LOOK AT THAT BROTHER.

>> THAT'S WHAT THIS TRIP WAS ALL ABOUT.

>> CAPTURING ONE OF THE LITTLE RED RIVER BROWN TROUT AND IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THAT CHUCK.

I'M GOING TO LIFT HIM UP SO WE GET A GOOD VIEW.

GET THE HOOK OUT.

THIS GOES TO SHOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, BUT IF YOU COME TO LITTLE RED RIVER IT'S PART OF IT EXPLORING ARKANSAS WHEN YOU CATCH FISH LIKE THIS.

>> THERE YOU GO.

>> THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

THAT IS A GOOD ONE RIGHT THERE.

>> I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER.

>> IT'S A LOG CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE THAT GOES BACK TO MID-EVIL EUROPE AND ROBERT RUNYAN NEAR WINSLOW IS A MASTER AT IT.

>> IT'S KIND OF YOUR PRIMITIVE, LIKE THE WAY, YOU KNOW THE DOORS AND ALL THE WINDOWS ARE FULL LOG PIECES THAT ARE ROUTED INTO THE LOF TTHROUGH THE WALLS AND A PRIMITIVE TECHNIQUE BEFORE THEY START REFINING THE BUILDING TECHNIQUES WHICH IS KIND OF WHAT I AM INTERESTED IN IS THE OLD WAY OF DOING THINGS TRYING TO USE YOUR INDIGENOUS MATERIALS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

>> LOGS ARE CONSTRUCTED USING A METHOD CALLED SCANDINAVIAN SCRIBE.

>> SCANDINAVIAN SCRIBE IS WHERE YOU'RE LETTING THE WOOD IN, THE TOP LOG IS SCRIBED TO FIT THE LOG BENEATH IT AND I HAVE A TOOL.

IT'S LIKE A CALIPER AND YOU SET THE LOG UP LIKE A 2-INCH GAP BETWEEN THEM AND YOU TAKE YOUR SCRIBE AND YOU BENCHMARK IT, AND IT'S GOT LEVELS ON IT WHERE YOU CAN MARK THE EXACT CONTOUR OF THE LOG BELOW AND TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN AND CUT TO YOUR MARK, AND IF YOU ACHIEVE A VERY TIGHT FIT THAT WAY, AND SOMETIMES THEY HAVE TO GO IN AND OUT TWO, THREE TIMES TO GET THE FIT THAT YOU'RE AFTER.

IT'S JUST AN OLD WORLD TECHNIQUE THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS, AND IT EVOLVED IN SWEDEN AND THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES.

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT SCANDINAVIAN SCRIBE.

>> HOW EXACTLY DID YOU ACQUIRE A SKILL LIKE THIS?

>> TRIAL AND ERROR.

[LAUGHTER] NO, JUST BEING INTERESTED IN IT AND I AM BASICALLY SELF TAUGHT.

HI INPUT FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE, BUT ALL OF US ARE BASICALLY -- WE'RE INTRIGUED WITH THE OLDER BUILDING TECHNIQUES AND WE JUST KIND OF DOVE INTO IT, AND KIND OF LEARNED ON THE FLY, YOU KNOW, MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES, AND TRIED TO LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES, THAT TYPE OF YOU KNOW APPROACH AND REVIVE THE OLD WORLD TECHNIQUES WE'RE INTERESTED IN AND IT'S BEEN 40 YEARS OF A LEARN BE CURVE AND EVERYDAY YOU LEARN SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

YOU TRY TO ALWAYS KEEP TRYING TO REFINE AND IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS TO DO A BETTER JOB.

I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH.

I WENT TO THE LIBRARY BACK IN MY YOUNGER -- IN MY YOUTH WHEN I WAS GOING IN THIS DIRECTION.

I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH UP AT THE LIBRARY AND HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF WORKING WITH GOOD ARCHITECTS AND LEARNING PROPORTION, AND BALANCE AND THAT TYPE OF STUFF IN A BUILDING, AND SO IT'S JUST BEEN AN AMALGAMATION OF A LOT OF DIFFERENT SOURCES TO GET THERE.

>> AND IN PARTICULAR THE BIBLE THAT YOU SAID YOU HAD THAT YOU TOOK A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM.

>> YEAH.

THAT WAS A BOOK WRITTEN BY A NAME HERMAN PHELPS WHO WAS AN INTELLECTUAL AND PREWORLD WAR II AND RESEARCHED THE TECHNIQUES IN EUROPE, BASICALLY SCANDINAVIAN AND GERMAN, NORTHERN FRANCE AND THAT AREA, THE EASTERN EUROPE, RUSSIA, FINLAND AND THOSE AREAS WHERE LOG BUILDING WAS TAKEN TO BASICALLY AN ART FORM.

THERE ARE STILL BUILDINGS OVER THERE 800 YEARS OLD STILL IN USE AND THERE IS QUITE A TRADITION BEHIND IT AND IT'S BEEN REFINED TO A MUCH MORE DEGREE OF WHAT TOOK PLACE IN THIS COUNTRY.

I GUESS BASICALLY BECAUSE IT MAY BE EVOLVING FOR A THOUSAND YEARS AND HERE IN THIS COUNTRY EVERYBODY ALWAYS -- IT'S ALWAYS CHANGING, YOU KNOW, AND SO WE JUST MOSTLY BEEN INTERESTED IN TRYING TO PRESERVE AND GIVE SOME EXAMPLES OF THIS TYPE OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ON RECORD.

>> BASICALLY IT'S MID-EVIL EUROPE CONSTRUCTION.

>> BASICALLY YES, AND SOME OF THE TECHNIQUES IN THIS HOUSE ARE SOME OF THE RUDIMENTARY FROM 700, 800, THOUSAND YEARS AGO, THE JOINT WORK AND LIKE THE DOOR FRAMES AND THE WINDY BUCKS, -- WHAT I CALL THEM AND USING ACTUAL LOGS AND TRYING TO INCORPORATE ROCK AND STONE AND LOG TOGETHER INTO HO MONCH NOWS STRUCTURE.

>> RUNYAN HAS BEEN NAMED A LIVING TREASURE FOR HIS LIFELONG CONTRIBUTIONS AND RECOGNITION IN KEEPING THIS AGE OLD CRAFT ALIVE BUT HE'S WANT TAKING ANY CREDIT FOR IT.

>> THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME.

THE AWARD WAS ABOUT SEVERAL PEOPLE.

I JUST HAPPEN TO BE THE ONE THAT FELL ON IT.

OKAY AND BUT I'VE GOT SOME REALLY STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH SEVERAL STONE MASONS AND LOG BUILDERS.

WE'RE ALL STONE MASONS AND LOG BUILDERS BECAUSE WE'RE ALL -- BUTCH BYERS IS ONE AND JIM MILLWAY.

THEY'RE THE TWO MAIN ONES.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER AND HAD CAREERS THAT WE HAVE BEEN COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER FOR 40 YEARS NOW WHICH IS KIND OF UNUSUAL.

WE HAD FALLING OUTS AND DISAGREEMENTS AND STUFF, BUT WE ADHERE TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN EACH OTHER AND LIKE I SAID THE AWARD ISN'T STRICTLY ABOUT ME.

IT'S ABOUT SEVERAL PEOPLE.

I CALL THEM PEERS AND PATRONS.

>> THE LAST TIME WE MET UP WITH SMALL MOUTH BASS GUIDE DENNIS WHITESIDE CONDITIONS WERE BRUTAL TO SAY THE LEAST.

THE TEMPERATURE WAS ZERO AND THE LAKE WAS FROZEN AND THIS IS MUCH BETTER.

SHORT SLEEVE, OH YEAH.

WE'RE HEADING DOWN THE MOUTH OF THE SPRING RIVER AND SEE HOW MANY SMALL MOUTH WE CAN CATCH.

FIRST A FEW CATCHING TECHNIQUES.

>> PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING THAT'S A BASS IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

THERE'S EVERY KIND OF COLOR AND VARIATION ON LURES THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

MOST OF IT HAS TO DO WITH SOMETHING YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE IN IN USING AND THAT'S TRUTH.

DOESN'T NECESSARY MATTER WHAT YOU'RE FISHING WITH AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CAST AND USE IT THE WAY IT'S DESIGNED TO BE USED.

IN MY VIEW A LOT OF THE FISHING SUCCESS COMES DOWN TO WHERE IS THAT FISH AT AND GETTING IT WITHIN A FOOT OR TWO OF WHERE THE FISH IS WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR CAST.

OTHERWISE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THAT FISH.

>> DENNIS ALSO POINTED OUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL MOUTH CONSERVATION.

>> ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT A SMALL MOUTH IS STRING FISHING IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO BECOME AN ADVOCATE.

LOTS OF PEOPLE NOW THAT KNOW WHAT SMALL MOUTH FISHING IS ALL ABOUT, CATCHING AND RELEASING THEM.

I CALL IT CPR, CATCH, PHOTOGRAPH AND RELEASE AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE SIMPLY TO DO THAT AND FOR LOTS AND LOTS OF REASONS.

THESE SMALL MOUTH AND FISH -- ALL THE FISH IN THESE STREAMS ARE RELATIVELY EASY TO CATCH, AND DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF THE YEAR AND THE CONDITIONS OF COURSE, BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY TAKE OUT A LOT OF THE FISHERY IF YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION AND PARTICULARLY FOR SMALL MOUTH.

THEY'RE WILD FISH.

YOU CAN'T REALLY RAISE THEM IN A HATCHERY AND STOCK THEM IN THE STREAMS SO CONSERVATION IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

THEY HAVE EVERYTHING GOING AGAINST THEM IN A SENSE.

THE STREAMS ARE BECOMING SMALLER AND MORE SHALLOW, FILLING IN.

NUMBER ONE, THERE IS DEGRADATION OF A LOT OF THE RIVERS THAT CAN RECOVER, BUT IN THE MEANTIME YOU HAVE A FISHERY THAT CAN BE DIMINISHED AS A RESULT OF IT, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT FOLKS THAT CATCH AND KEEP FISH, AND IF YOU KEEP THE LARGER OF THE FISH THAT'S THE BRUTE POPULATION.

THAT'S THE POPULATION THAT IS MOST APT TO BE ABLE HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SPAWN AND THE GENERAL TALK IS IT TAKES ABOUT 10 YEARS FOR FOR THE SMALL MOUTH BASS STREAMS TO REACH TROPHY SIZE, ABOUT 18-INCH FISH, TROPHY MOUTH FISH AND HERE ON THE SOUTH FORK THERE IS NO TELLING HOW MANY I HAVE CAUGHT IN MY LIFETIME BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE ISN'T AS MANY AS THERE WAS 20 YEARS AGO AND PART OF THAT IS PEOPLE KEEPING THEM.

IN A SENSE IT'S KIND OF A SHAME THAT MORE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THESE RIVERS AND THE STREAMS.

IT'S PART OF NATURALLY WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT IS THEY'RE NOT CROWDED AND YOU CAN FIND THE SOLITUDE THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT IN SO MANY WAYS IT'S NOT EVEN FUN.

IT'S AS CLOSE TO WHAT THE OZARKS WERE WHEN WE FIRST SETTLED IN THIS COUNTRY.

>> DENNIS WAS CATCHING HIS SHARE OF SMALL MOUTH AND THEN SOME SO I COULD FEEL THE SCREWS TIGHTENING.

>> NO PRESSURE CHUCK.

NO PRESSURE HERE AT ALL.

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE GO PROCAMERA AND I AM BACK HERE DON'T EVEN HAVE A SEMI-PROCAMERA.

HOPEFULLY YOU CAN CATCH ONE.

KIND OF A NICE DAY FOR IT.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET YOU INTO WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO TRY TO HOLD ON TO ONE OF THOSE GOOD SMALL MOUTH BASS.

>> I FINALLY DID CATCH ONE AT THE VERY END OF OUR FLOAT.

>> THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT.

STAY WITH IT.

>> OH LOST HIM AGAIN.

OH GOSH -- WAIT, I THINK HE MAY BE STILL THERE.

>> I THINK YOU GOT IT CHUCK.

APPROXIMATE STAY WITH IT.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

NOT AS BIG AS DENNISS.

>> IT'S A FISH AND YOU GOT HIM.

>> IT'S A FISH.

>> SO EXPLORE FOR YOURSELF THE SOUTH FORK OF THE SPRING RIVER AND CATCH YOU SOME SMALL MOUTH AND FOR ON THIS DESTINATION PLUS MANY OF OUR OTHERS OR TO ORDER A COPY OF AN EPISODE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT AETN.ORG/EXPLORINGARKANSAS AND DON'T FORGET TO LIKE US ON YOUR FACEBOOK FAN PAGE AND WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT TIME FOR AN EXCITING ADVENTURE ON "EXPLORING ARKANSAS".
