Fishing in
Cotter’s
Big Spring
|
|
LITTLE ROCK - In an effort to expand trout fishing opportunities
to more people and more areas of the state, the Arkansas Game and Fish
Commission has established fishing regulations which opens
Big Spring to fishing by youth and disabled anglers.
For the past
40 years, Big Spring had been managed as a trout sanctuary for spawning
trout. Fishing was not allowed in the man-made channel of the spring. The
regulation preventing fishing has been relaxed somewhat to allow fishing
derbies during special events. Trout were stocked directly into Big Spring
for those fishing derbies. The spring never proved to be an ideal location
for trout to spawn and contribute wild trout to the White River. The
underground spring is located in north Arkansas just south of Cotter and
emerges adjacent to the White River near the newly renovated AGFC Cotter access area. |
