Walleye fishing near the White River

[Rick and Cheryl]

We fished the White river last year, and had a great time, so we are going back this year.  We will be staying near Cotter at Denton Ferry RV park.  Somewhere in our travels, I ran into a couple that said there was also walleye fishing nearby.  Does anyone know where to go for Walleyes in NW Ark?

Not that trout arent fun to catch, but walleyes are a lot better to eat.

Rick, I have also heard that some walleye fishing exists in that area, but I suspected that they may actually be a "walleye hybrid" or maybe a "Sauger".  In any case, I doubt they would be as tasty as those walleye caught in the colder northern waters.

Let us know what you find out.

BTW - Dave Mitten may know something about that area.  He lives right there at Bull Shoals.

There is great Walleye fishing in the lake above Bull Shoals dam on the White River.  The world record was caught in the lake.  It is just a few miles from the Denton Ferry RV park.  The trout fishing is better!

Just step out behind your rig and start catching large bows and browns.
