    A WORD ABOUT FOUL WEATHER AND RAIN CHECKS

    We understand that outdoor river activities can be a primary focus for some groups.  For other groups, outdoor activities are a secondary focus and weather effects are not a big deal.  They are content with time and fellowship together at the cabin.  One of our jobs as an outfitter is to help judge weather, rainfall amounts, river levels and water clarity for our fishermen’s safety and decent fishing conditions.  

    Bad weather or poor river conditions do not necessarily warrant a “Rain Check”...These conditions can come and go reasonably quick!Because of the “flushing” nature of the “Tail Water” generated from the Bull Shoals Dam…White River conditions can be back to normal, in 24-48 hours.

    When flooded river conditions affect Rileys @Buffalo City .… Good fishing conditions can normally be found above Crooked Creek.We will go out of the way to find and fish the best river conditions!

    Please do not fully trust the weather channel forecasts!
