Calico Rock Area (updated 6-25-2026) Dave McCulley, owner of Jenkins Fishing Service in Calico Rock, said, “Before the rains last weekend, fishing was consistent using silver inline spinners, Uncommon Bait UV eggs and shrimp. Some guides have reported limited success using artificial lures, but the fish that were caught were nicer 18-inch or larger rainbows and browns. “The rains on Sunday caused flash flooding on the Buffalo River, resulting in muddy water arriving at Calico Rock on Tuesday night. It looks like we can expect rain over the next few days, but luckily the predictions on how much rain the Buffalo River Valley will receive have gone down. Both Norfork Lake and Bull Shoals Lake are above the power pool level and they continue to release water through generation. Hopefully this water will help flush out the muddy water.”
