Trout Fishing in February was Excellent!
Victor Anderson and his 7 lb. Brown
Mark Risinger and his 13.9 lb Brown
These photos speak for themselves, but
this February
was one of the best months of fishing we have had in
10 years or more! The number of brown trout caught
and released, and the size, was unbelievable. We could
not have asked for a better month. Even the weather
was great! Make plans to stay with us and fish next
winter in January, February, or March.
Spring Time!
Although we had an extremely mild winter,
we can
now look forward to our spring season. The King
Alfred Daffodils are already in bloom and we will
be seeing a lot of wild flowers and blooming trees
soon. Bring your camera and come enjoy the
outdoors here in the Ozarks!
Even pets love Gaston's
We are one of the few places that does
allow
pets. Some people travel around the country
with their four-legged friends but are not able
to stay at some facilities. We proudly accept
pets here. Just be sure to bring a leash, and
feel free to walk them anywhere around the
resort. We have plenty of room to play or swim.
FLW Tour
On April 6 through the 9th, the FLW Tour
will be
having a professional walleye tournament on
Bull Shoals Lake! There will be over $471,000
given away and a chance to compete in the FLW
Walleye Tour Championship in Moline, Illinois
this September, where there will be $650,000
given away! We are very excited to have this
tournament coming to Bull Shoals Lake, as
well as the two tournaments this summer as
part of the Professional Walleye Trail (PWT)
Tournament. Our area is very thankful for all
of the coverage and tourism involved with
these great tournaments and of course we
always enjoy seeing the superstars of the
tournament fishing industry when they come
to stay at our resort and dine in the restaurant.
Arkansas State
Bird - Mockingbird
Did you know...
This is a picture of the Arkansas state bird. We
frequently see the Mockingbird around the resort.
The bird is named such because of it's ability to
mock other songbirds. A Mockingbird can typically
sing anywhere between 25 and 30 songs out of it's
"collection." The bird will sing one song, then quickly
change to another song, and so on. For this reason,
the Mockingbird has the prettiest song of any bird in
North America. The Mockingbird is also a fierce
protector of it's nest and environment, as witnessed
by many unfortunate dogs and cats that get too close
to the bird's nest. The bird's song can be heard best
late at night along the White River on one of our
redwood decks. :-)
Ducks Going North
Each year, when spring approaches, we are
saddened to see the majority of ducks head
back north to their summer homes. You can
still see some ducks at various ponds around
the Ozarks. We are lucky to have such a large
population of ducks in the winter time here.
Easter
The Easter Bunny is coming! Easter
is a great
time to spend with your family, so get everybody
together and make reservations to enjoy brunch
on Easter Sunday. You won't have to search very
long for the eggs, they are right up front, next to
the biscuits, gravy, and bacon! If you can't make
it for brunch, remember that we do sell gift cards
that your friends and family would love to receive!
