THE LITTLE RED RIVER FOUNDATION
Working to improve river flows, support trout research, and protect the Little Red River's fishery for future generations.
Our Mission
Keeping the Little Red River Healthy
Did you know?
The Little Red River is home to a world-renowned trout fishery, attracting anglers from across the country. Protecting its water quality and habitat helps preserve this remarkable resource for future generations.
Since 2013, the Little Red River Foundation has worked to improve the health of the river and its trout fishery.
We support scientific research, advocate for better water management, and work with public agencies and conservation partners to address issues affecting the Little Red River.
WHY IT MATTERS
Understanding the Little Red's Trout
RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT
LRRF has committed funding to a multiyear research project at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff studying trout diets and food availability in the Little Red River.
The research will help scientists better understand the conditions affecting the fishery and inform future management decisions.
A River Worth Protecting
The Little Red River is known for its trout fishing, but it also supports local businesses, outdoor recreation, and the communities along its banks.
Changes in water flow, fish populations, and habitat can affect the river's future. Understanding these challenges is an important part of keeping the Little Red River healthy.
PROTECT. RESEARCH. ADVOCATE.
RIVER CONSERVATION

WHAT WE DO
Better Water Flows for the Little Red River
OUR TOP PRIORITY
The Little Red River's trout fishery depends on cold, reliable water releases from Greers Ferry Dam. Changes in river flows can affect water temperature, trout habitat, and fishing conditions.
LRRF is advocating for the river's inclusion in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Sustainable Rivers Program, which could help support a more science-based approach to river management.
