Flow: 70

Water Temp: 37-35

We got a lot of last minute preparations done for the Frostbite Fish-Off. Thank you letters are done and we have a lot of great gear for Saturday’s raffle and awards celebration. For the first time since we put on this soiree it looks like we’re apt to earn our name frostbite. With that I would like to ask all of our volunteers and teams to dress warm and above all please be safe.

We received an update on prizes for the top anglers Saturday.

Top team wins two Scott 9’ 5wt Radians and Costa Copper 580G Glass eyewear.

Silver and bronze also receive Costa Copper 580G Glasses.

Big Fish:  An Echo 10.5 foot 4wt switch rod and a Brodin net.

For TU raffle/auction:  MFC Fly Boxes and tools, Loon accessories, Brodin net, 3 Buffs

Thanks to Comb Enterprises for the great donations.

I’m excited to see the results and showcase the Arkansas tailwater and have a great time with some of the country’s best anglers.

New improvements in the upper section are already holding trout.

Saturday 36 anglers are vying for big trout against bitter cold in clear water with unpredictable wind.

In the end I hope all have a great time, score big and take home the goods.

Tight lines,

Ben
