About Shoe Fly Fishing
Experience Wade fishing the Little Red River
Our home water is the Little Red River tail water that flows from the Greers Ferry dam in Heber springs.
We only offer wading/fishing instruction using flyrods.
Because wading water is only available when the tail water generation is at minimal flow, advance bookings are difficult.
Being dependent on projected power generation, we only accept last minute or next day bookings…, so, don’t be afraid to ask!
Family-Friendly Fishing Instruction
We welcome anglers of all ages and skill levels, and pride ourselves on creating a fun and safe environment for families to enjoy a river wading experience. Our 3 hour instruction will cover the key building blocks to advance your future fly fishing trips on the Little Red River….and most students put fish IN THE NET!
Explore the Beauty of wading a pristine trout river
Not only is fishing a thrilling activity, but it also provides an opportunity to take in some stunning natural scenery. Nothing beats standing knee deep in a crystal-clear trout river while relaxing to the gentle rocking chair rhythm of a soaring flyline.
We provide all fly fishing equipment EXCEPT wading boots.
The Little Red River offers comfortable wet wading during the hot summer months, but most of the year you should bring your own waders.
You will also need a valid Arkansas Fishing license and trout stamp.
Hats, sunscreen and polarized sunglasses are recommended
