HiddenGems FISHERMAN’S DREAM – FROM ROD TO TABLE
“I used to stare at a computer
screen all day. Now I stare at the river,” proclaims Lowell Myers. Not too long ago, Lowell left “the rat race,” as he calls it, a
corporate job and a home on a
golf course to move into a fishing
cabin on the Little Red River. Now he lives his dream: trout fishing. Lowell gives back to the community
by serving on the board of directors
for Greers Ferry Lake/Little Red River
Association and is president of the local chapter of Trout Unlimited.
He’s also a partner with Jeff Smith,
founder of LeLand’s Lures. Best known for
the Trout Magnet and the Crappie Magnet, LeLand’s Lures started in Searcy, Arkansas
and the company’s full line of products are
sold throughout the country and regionally in Walmart.
From Barnett access near Heber Springs
Little Red River
to the walk-in access at Cow Shoals, the
Little Red offers the fisherman’s dream. “It’s a great fly-fishing river,” says Lowell, “both wadeable and drift fishing.” When asked where’s the best place to catch the
abundant trout, Lowell’s eyes sparkle. “Come with me, and I’ll show you.”
