The late Rip Collins of Heber Springs shocked the fishing world in 1992 with a 40-pound, four-ounce brown trout he caught on the Little Red River. The three catches constitute all of the state's world-record holders, but several state-record fish are not far off the world marks. Phil Burnham recently caught this 6 lb bass and released it back into the water. In her first year of bow hunting, Cheryl Golden of Higden takes her first deer, a 12 point buck with a 17" inside spread, on October 24 just before dusk. Thanks to my husband and daughter, for supporting my interest in the sport! Greers Ferry and Little Red River
