Arkansas Game And Fish Commission Trout Management Plan 2026-2032
This strategic plan, developed by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, outlines a comprehensive approach to managing the Greers Ferry Tailwater trout fishery from 2026 to 2032. It focuses on five key areas: diversifying trout fishing opportunities, enhancing trout habitat, optimizing water management, improving access and facilities, and expanding education and outreach. The plan aims to balance angler desires for trophy trout and catch rates, preserve and rehabilitate streambanks, ensure suitable water quality through collaboration with partners, maintain and increase public access, and foster a strong public connection to coldwater fisheries through improved communication and information dissemination.
