Meet in Cotter, Arkansas. Your guide confirms the ramp and time the evening before.
We fish the White River near Cotter and Bull Shoals, and the Norfork near Mountain Home, in Baxter and Marion counties.
A few things before we go.
Do I need to know how to fish?
No. We guide first-timers often. Pick a beginner lesson or a half-day float, and tell us who is coming.
What does generation mean for our trip?
Water released from the dams changes river height and current. We plan around the latest information, and move to a suitable stretch or reschedule if needed. A posted schedule is never a guarantee.
Can kids come along?
Yes. Tell us their ages when you inquire so we can plan the boat, life jackets, and pace. An adult accompanies every child.
Do I need a license?
Arrange the required Arkansas fishing license and trout permit before fishing. Requirements depend on age and other details. Check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s current guidance.
What if the weather turns?
Your guide makes the safety call. If we cancel for unsafe weather or water, choose another available date or a refund of the trip deposit.
How do reservations work?
We agree on a date and trip first. A real outfitter would then confirm its deposit and cancellation terms. This demo form does not reserve a date or take payment.
Make a weekend of it.
Mountain Home fly shops
Local tackle shops can help with a license, extra layers, and a last-minute fly.
