    My husband and I fished two days with Dakota in May. From start to finish, he ensured we had the best time. He’s so knowledgeable and super friendly. I’m a total novice and he explained everything and must’ve baited my hook 150 times, and never showed any frustration that I’d lost my hook, AGAIN. He cooked an awesome shore lunch and brought sodas and water on the boat for us. We saved his number and will be back for sure. Hire this company, and ask for Dakota!

    We just returned home after a great trip to the White River! We enjoyed a wonderful fishing trip with Cody and Dakota. They were professional, capable and most of all patient with us beginners. They did everything to make us feel comfortable and made sure we all caught fish. We would highly recommend them.

    Chad had us on BIG fish from our very first casts on the White River. The fishing below Bull Shoals Damn was unbelievable, and the trout were unlike anything I have experienced anywhere else. We spent 2 full days fishing with Chad, and were on big trout constantly! It was one of the best trout fishing trips I've ever had. Can't wait to go back!

    Cody is just a down to earth guy who has great passion for fishing. Had a wonderful time with him and it was an experience I won’t forget. His shore lunches where absolutely the best I have ever had. Recommend him for anyone looking for a guide.
