It's always a privilege to work with the various groups that care about the Little Red River as much as we do.
This is a look back to one of those recent events that Trout Unlimited Hosted. The Annual Little Red River cleanup on September 12th.

Beyond the Banks: A First-Timer’s Perspective When you think about a community river cleanup, what comes to mind? Having never participated in a community cleanup outside of a church setting, I didn’t know what to expect, but the results surprised me. I was amazed by the community interaction, t...

Our friend David Taylor has done an excellent job researching the background on how water is managed on the Little Red River through Greers Ferry Dam. We appreciate his mentioning the work the Little Red River Foundation is doing to get the river designated / enrolled in the Sustainable Rivers Program which is a federal program administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Nature Conservancy. These efforts are supported by the USACE, The Nature Conservancy, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Little Red River Foundation, Trout Unlimited 722, Arkansas Fly Fishers, and the Mid South Fly Fishers. The legislative language to include the river has passed at the federal level and bills for funding are being pursued by Congressman French Hill and Senator John Boozman. We appreciate all the work that has gone into this. If successfully passed this will result in better water management and trout habitat for the Little Red River.

Learn how Greers Ferry Dam balances flood control, hydropower, and trout water—and what modern water management could mean for the Little Red River.

The Little Red River Foundation is proud to support Dr. Lochmann and the UAPB team in their valuable research on the Little Red Rive trout habitat. We have to date donated over $30,000 to UAPB for this effort. We also appreciate all of the contributions members of the Mid-South Fly Fishers organization have made to our Foundation to make this possible. Thank you !

We appreciate our Little Red River Foundation members from the Memphis area. Your support has helped us contribute more than $30,000 to UAPB and Dr. Lochmann’s team for their research. Thank you.

Mark your calendars for July 16, 6 - 8 pm at the Orvis Memphis Store. Dr. Steve Lochmann from University of Arkansas Pine Bluff will discuss findings from research that he and his colleagues are conducting on brown trout on the Little Red River and also on the White River. Specifically he’ll discuss how much brown trout move on the Little Red and preliminary results of a brown trout diet study. It will be very informative!

I am not sure about the fishing, but the birding on the LRR has been great this summer.
