Gone Fishin’ with McLarty Daniel Chevrolet

If you love fishing, trucks, and the open road, McLarty Daniel Chevrolet celebrates the connection between outdoor adventure and the all-American spirit of Chevrolet. Led by General Manager and professional angler Mark Cook, McLarty Daniel Chevrolet has become a gathering point for Northwest Arkansas’s fishing community. From tournament weekends to early-morning launches on Beaver Lake, the team understands what anglers need, reliable power, precision towing, and a truck that works as hard as they do.
Professional fishing requires vehicles that can handle heavy loads, unpredictable terrain, and long hauls with boats in tow. That’s where Chevrolet trucks, especially the Silverado 1500 and Silverado HD, excel. With available towing capacities up to 36,000 pounds, an integrated trailer brake controller, and Advanced Trailering System, these models deliver confidence whether you’re heading to your favorite local spot or crossing state lines for a competition.
Key reasons anglers trust Chevrolet trucks for towing:
— Engineered strength with best-in-class trailering technologies
— Multiple camera views, including Hitch View and Bed View, for safer connections
— 10-speed automatic transmissions designed for smooth, consistent torque
— Trailering App that monitors temperature, tire pressure, and light diagnostics
— Proven reliability on thousands of real-world fishing trips
Chevrolet’s commitment to capability and comfort makes every journey, from home to the water—a seamless part of the angler lifestyle.
