Fisherman fight back against Silt in the Norfork River
Perhaps these are some of those "Sportsman's Values" that Huckabee was mentioning.

NORFORK — As the civil lawsuit against a developer building above the Norfork Dam continues, local fly fishing guides are feeling the pinch in the pocketbook when silt washes into the North Fork River after each rain.
Last month, the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality filed a lawsuit against Homeport Land Company owned by Benny Doyal of Yellville. The agency is suing the company for not obtaining a construction stormwater permit before developing Overlook Estates, a subdivision being built above the North Fork River near the Norfork Dam, and ordered Doyal to stop polluting the waters.
