Free fishing weekend is this weekend, June 12-14, in Arkansas! Check out this video from AGFC Trout Management and Habitat.

What better time to rediscover or introduce yourself and others to trout fishing in the Natural State than during the upcoming Free Fishing Weekend! From noon on June 12 to midnight on June 14, fishing is allowed anywhere in Arkansas without a fishing license or trout permit. The attached clip illustrates simple tackle and bait that can be used to fish for trout. There are plenty of bank, wade,and boat trout fishing opportunities throughout the state on our tailwaters and rivers. Kids under 16 years old also have the unique opportunity to fish for trout on Dry Run Creek and Collins Creek. Have fun, be safe, and "Fish Natural" during the upcoming Free Fishing Weekend here in Arkansas!

Arkansas is full of diverse history and this summer we're profiling destinations that you might explore. Please check with all sites prior to visiting for their latest Covid-19 hours or procedures.

Imagine stepping back in time to the very beginning of great sound. Well you can do just that in Hope. In 1946, Paul W. Klipsch (PWK) changed the face of the audio industry by inventing, discovering, hypothesizing, and proving that it was darn well possible to make and reproduce exciting, explosive, accurate audio. Real, dynamic music was heard in living rooms for the first time – nearly mimicking the power of a live performance. Along the way, PWK worked with industry giants, famous pop stars, and some of the smartest people in the world – always in search of a better sound. Klipsch was an American audio pioneer, a true eccentric, and a proud member of the Engineering and Science Hall of Fame. He gave rise to technologies that would forever impact generations of music lovers. He left an amazing legacy for you to discover.
