trip description for White River Fly Fishing in Cotter

Head out on the White River in Arkansas for an epic day chasing big browns and good time with your professional guide Dan the Man! The White is a well known trout stream across the globe. Arkansans like Dan feel lucky to have such a fishery in their backyard. Visitors flock to it for the experience of catching trophy trout. While fishing with spinning rods from johnboats has always been popular, fly anglers are increasing in numbers and Dan here is leading the charge! Dan spends most of his time and efforts focusing on the tail-waters below Bull Shoals Dam. This 30-40 miles stretch is known for producing big rainbows and more prevalently monster browns! The season never closes for the Trout, and thus never stops for Dan either! On the day of your trip, you will meet up with Dan either at a local fly shop or at one of the many boat launches that line the stretch of river below Bull Shoals. You'll load your gear and belongings aboard Dan's John boat which will already be loaded with all the necessary gear for your trip. Dan likes to do some drifting down this tale water but also has a Mercury outboard strapped to the back of his John boat to give you easy access to the best water whether that's way downstream or back upstream! Dan will take care of everything for his full-day trip offerings, from rods, reels, tackle, flies, expert instruction, and even a lunch and beverages. For half-day trips, all is the same only lunch will not be provided. Usually you'll be off the water by noon, but if you'd like to bring some snacks to hold you over, you are more than welcome!

trip description for Beaver Lake Bass Charters in Rogers

Spend the day with Tyler’s Beaver Lake Bass Charters and get hooked on fishing in the Rogers & Bentonville area! Tyler will be your guide, giving you access to years of local experience. If you come at the right time of year, you can catch largemouth, spotted, smallmouth, and other bass based on season. You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Tyler also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. Tyler is happy to have kids aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks for a boost of energy when needed! You’ll be fishing aboard a 21’ Bass boat with capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask Tyler. Some species may be off-limits or require a unique tag, we can discuss this in advance so you know what to expect. You can’t go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Tyler’s Beaver Lake Bass Charters! Read More

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    This is a truly world class fishery. We caught 20+ fish on fly and lost a lot more (including a couple of really nice ones dammit). Dan was a great guide, a great host and we had a great day. I highly recommend this trip, I will be doing again.
