About Your Trip

Come enjoy an unforgettable fly fishing adventure on the beautiful Beaver Tailwaters. Whether you're new to fly fishing or have years of experience, this trip is designed to bring the joy of the outdoors to anglers of all ages and skill levels. The Beaver Tailwaters, with its crystal-clear water and breathtaking surroundings, is the perfect backdrop for a day spent chasing trout.

Your trip typically begins on our river boat, allowing us to cover more water and explore different sections of the river. This means you'll have more opportunities to find where the fish are biting, and you can take in the stunning scenery along the way. Depending on water conditions, we may also step off the boat for some wading. This gives you the flexibility to experience both boat and wade fishing, letting you adjust to the river's flow and get up close to those perfect casting spots.

We proudly provide all the gear you’ll need for a successful day on the water. We use top-quality rods from Sage and Temple Fork Outfitters, premium reels and lines from Rio Products, and an impressive selection of flies from Umpqua Feather Merchants. Whether you’re drifting nymphs or casting dry flies, you’ll have the best tools in hand to match the hatch and hook into some beautiful rainbow or brown trout.

For anglers looking for a full day of fly fishing, our 8-hour trip is ideal. You’ll have plenty of time to cover different stretches of the river and experiment with various techniques. Along the way, we’ll keep you energized with a tasty lunch and a cooler full of refreshments. With waders provided if needed, all you need to bring is your fishing license, trout stamp, and a sense of adventure.

If you’re short on time or prefer a half-day option, our 4-hour trip offers all the excitement in a more compact schedule. You’ll still have access to the same high-quality gear and expert guidance, plus a cooler stocked with cold drinks to keep you refreshed throughout the trip. We'll make sure to hit the best spots and maximize your chances of landing some trophy trout.

We’re passionate about creating a welcoming community for fly fishermen of all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just learning to cast, we’re here to ensure you have a fantastic experience on the water. We love what we do, and we can’t wait to share the excitement of fly fishing with you in Northwest Arkansas. Book your trip today and let’s get out on the river!
