Quick look rating: 5/5 Quality, 5/5 Service, 5/5 Experience…read more For my 100th review of 2015, I thought it would be best to write about a great little trout fly fishing spot that's not to far from Dallas, TX. **To note: This review is written about the creek before the floods in early spring of 2015. In the spring of 2015 we had major rains and flooding in the area. The engineers for the dam had to release a large amount of water from the spillway. Downstream was a major washout. Spillway Creek is below the spillway dam at Broken Bow Lake. It is just a little over 3 hours drive time from Dallas or 20 to 25 minutes from Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The water released from this dam comes from about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way down from the top of the water. This keeps the water released cold, cold enough for trout to live for the first couple of miles to about twelve miles worth of stream before it gets to hot for trout. The spillway is stocked with trout nearly every two weeks with at least two trucks of stock trout. The Spillway Creek is on the Ouachita National Forrest and Beavers Bend State Park, and I noticed that they are doing a great job of keeping this park and wildlife area, very well maintained! Help keep this park clean, what you pack/carry in, well then carry out, thank you in advance! At the time of spring there was two nice fly fishing shops in the area, while the Dallas has some really nice fly shops to help you out as well! Some of the Fly shops in Dallas have some guides that will take you up there as well! My thoughts / suggestions: 9ft rod - 4 or 5 weight rod, 9ft leader with a 5x tippet, take 5,6, and 7x tippet spools. Flies: RS2, maybe some tiny midge nymphs. Carry a wading staff! The water can be stiff in some areas! **To note: Check with the local fly shops for what kind of fly's to use and what types of tippet and leaders are being used at that time. **Emergency Note: Always listen for any sirens in the valley / creek area. When they release water from the dam, the engineers will blow that horn/whistle. If you hear it, head to high ground IMMEDIATELY! Please keep in mind where your fellow fly fishing buddies are located! For the most part there is phone reception in the area, but double check. It is pretty good idea to go to text mode when fly fishing and keep it on vibration/silent mode. Be safe, and let others know where you are located! I'll be back!

We were taken by surprise by the large space in the tents. We stayed in Pink Dream. Pink is my favorite color. It was really cute! There are battery operated lights and a color changing lamp inside the tent. We were taken out tubing by gilda's daughter crystal on her boat. She owns a medium sized boat called a Sea-Doo. It's pretty fast. We had a blast. When we arrived back at the campsite, we started a fire and ate s'mores. We told ghost stories and went to bed. There is bathrooms with showers. Everything is very clean. You do need your own pillows and toiletries but the whole experience was awesome. I recommend Glampin with Gilda!!! 100% great time! We will be back soon. The price is epic! If your wanting to take a 2-3 day vacay, this is the place to stay. Gilda was super nice and helpful. I have told all my friends to go!

Within 35 minutes, a guy came over and used a tool and managed to open the window to allow us access!!! We were happy campers. It was a wonderful stay in Firefly Hollow (formerly Rustic Heights).

Julie was pretty good about returning texts or calls. Often it was easier to get her at the end of the day because during the day she is out on the rivers. Our guide was a gentleman named Kit. Because we were staying at the state park, he met us at the park office. We followed him to our fishing spot. They provided everything we needed. Kit gave us waders, boots, a hiking pole to help with balance as you wade into the river (this was very helpful), and rod and reel. Kit was very helpful and patient with us. We had a lot of fun. My wife caught 14 trout and I landed 8 (several got away). I would use this company again if we returned to the area.
