The water levels and the fishing is great

Bull Shoals - Freshwater Fishing Report
Warm-water streams and rivers have been fishing very well (although hot!) lately with both high-quantity and high-quality fish being caught. Mornings are better than afternoons, with late evening coming in second. Heavier flows are the norm in the afternoon as the weather heats up. Beadhead nymphs such as pheasant tails and hare's ears are producing well. Early terrestrials like beetles and ants are getting some top-water action. Be sure to have some sulphur and light Cahill dries in your fly box. Try a hopper/dropper combo to maximize your chances of hook-ups or, if possible, a double-nymph rig. Be ready to use various sizes of hoppers to find what the trout are keying on. Doubles are very possible.
