The water levels on The Little Red River change daily due the 2 turbine generators on the Greers Ferry Dam, that the Corps of Engineers operate to made hydroelectric power. The water level will rise about 4 feet vertically with each generator, making wade fishing only possible along the edges in just a few places. For the current water levels, call the Greers Ferry Powerhouse (501) 362-5150. The recorded message is a report of current turbine generator operation not a forecast of future schedules.

14 Day Forecast
Greers Ferry is now 5 feet under pool. Fishing has been excellent! I could not ask for a better weekend coming up. The weather is only going to be up to the low 90's. The fishing has been out of this world. The generation is staring around 2 lately and going until about 6 or 7. This is a great summer pattern.
I went fishing with Jeff and we had a ball. For the first time I did not catch one fish on a sow bug. We caught plenty of fish on pheasant tails, copper johns, woolly buggers, Hares ears and had a blast!
