COTTER IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED

Nationally Recognized Trout Fishing
Trout fishing near Cotter has been a major influence in recent national recognition of nearby Mountain and the Twin Lakes area.

The Wall Street Journal March 3, 2005, described retirement opportunities and highlighted fishing:

"This part of Arkansas is known as the trout capital of the world because of the quality and quantity of trout pulled from local rivers that run cold along nearly sheer limestone cliffs, vistas that often resemble scenery from the movie "A River Runs Through It. As such, Mountain Home and the surrounding region lure retirees keen on fly-fishing gin-clear streams and rivers, or those eager to reel fish from boats for bass, walleye, crappie and other species in lakes 200 feet deep. Fishing tourism largely propels the regional economy. Fishing resorts, fly-fishing schools and fishing shops are abundant. The area also is a big draw for businessmen from Dallas, in particular, seeking a close getaway for a few days of casting for brown, rainbow, cutthroat and brook trout."

More recently, In their Feb 2008 issue, Field and Stream advises readers:

"you can also catch big trout with flies in the White or Norfork (North Fork) Rivers. It's fair to say that these tailwaters - part of a 170-mile network of coldwater streams - are some of the world's best trout fisheries. The Norfork served up the former world-record brown trout (38 pounds 9 ounces) in 1988; the White has stretches that hold hundreds of 5-plus-pound brown trout per mile."

Outdoor Life Magazine (April 2008 issue) also listed "whopper trout" in the nearby White River as a major appeal.
