This is the second year we have used the fishing services of Cotter Trout Dock. Debbie and Dillion are the best! If you are looking for a great experience fishing the White River, look no further.

Incredible day of fishing. I took my son for his birthday and they went above and beyond to make it a wonderful day. Our guide was fantastic and we caught fish all day. We caught several very nice brown trout and we lost count of how many rainbows. I highly recommend Cotter Trout Dock and will be back as a repeat customer.

Truly an amazing experience. We had a large group on 4 different boats. Each boat had its own experience from constant drifting trying new spots or anchoring in a hole and catching 30 trout each. These guides WILL put you on some fish. Paul was an awesome guide and kept us catching fish all morning including a 28" trophy brown trout.

I had a great time. Caught my limit then caught and released but it was fun.. great guide, Matt. I'd do it again. We were there for a family reunion. I missed getting a hat there.
