Guided White River Trout Fishing

Spend Your Vacation Fishing, Not Figuring Out the River

The White River below Beaver Dam—commonly called the Beaver Tailwaters—is one of Northwest Arkansas's signature fishing experiences. Generation, current, temperature, clarity, season and fishing pressure can change the river quickly. Our guides adjust locations and presentations to the conditions in front of us.

You do not need to bring fishing equipment or have previous trout-fishing experience. We provide the boat, rods, reels, bait, tackle, safety equipment and hands-on instruction.

Why Busch Mountain

Local Knowledge Matters on a Tailwater

Water releases can reposition fish. Temperature and clarity can change productive techniques. Fishing pressure and seasonal movements can change which stretch deserves attention. Busch Mountain Fishing Guide Service fishes the White River and surrounding Northwest Arkansas waters throughout the year and adjusts to what is actually happening.

Fishing itself can never be guaranteed. Preparation, honest communication and maximum effort are the standard on every trip.
