FUN FACT
Every rainbow in Arkansas is stocked. The tailwaters below Bull Shoals stay cold enough year-round to support trout — a freshwater miracle in the South.

💡 Tips
Match the generation schedule
Drift with current
Smaller is better
🌙 Lunar profile
LOW Lunar ImpactBest phases: Full Moon
☀️ Daytime
Generation schedule dominates in tailwaters. Focus on post-generation feeding windows when flows stabilize.
🌙 Nighttime
Minimal lunar advantage. Tailwater flows and temperature determine feeding activity — check generation schedule.
⚠️ Tailwater note: Generation schedule overrides lunar influence. Quigley et al. confirmed solunar tables fail to predict CPUE in tailwater trout fisheries.
