The guide not only cleaned our fish, but packed them on ice in a complimentary styrofoam cooler! The lady in charge (Betty??) treated us like family. The guide not only helped us catch fish, but even brought us back for coffee and hot chocolate when we looked cold (heavy rains slashed the temps). First fishing guide service that I have ever wanted to use again - soon!

Really nice people!! Very professional and kind hearted down to earth. Debbie is a very…read moreknowledgeable woman that can also give you the story of Cotter besides hooking you up with a fishing experience you'll never forget!! From having highly Experienced Guides taking you out to catch more fish than any one person could dream, these guides will take you ashore to prepare a lunch of fried fish, hush puppies, taters, bananas pudding and a few jokes to start you back onto the river. ( There is also a Box lunch in place of the fresh fried that consists of what I'm told is sandwiches ) If you want a down to earth business that makes sure you catch a bunce of fish and a whole lot of memories, Call Debbie and let her hook you up!! What a Blessing to have found this place!! Thank you

We went out for a full day trip with Kevin and had the most amazing time. We were visiting in May,…read moreand the thunderstorms were bearing down. We managed to pull 3 fish out of the water before the lightning started. Kevin got us off the water quickly and pulled out a lunch spread that could have fed a small army. After lunch and some great conversation, the weather cleared up and we ended up having a few hours of beautiful clear skies. With Kevin's help, we each pulled at least 10-15 beautiful trout out of the river. Kevin was quick to get the fish off the hook, and get us back in the water. Making our trip easy and very fun. We would definitely go back out with Kevin, not only was he an amazing guide, but also a great person.

My Father and I just got back from an amazing trip with Larry Babin from Hogs on The Fly. My Dad…read moreasked that I post his review since he is not a big Yelp user. He is 78years old and travels all over to fly fish. This is what he wrote. "Like a lot of anglers, I always wondered about those glowing reports of fishing the White River in Arkansas. They sounded good, but the whole thing seemed too out of the way, too rustic, and too risky as a one river venue. I was wrong all around. Mountain Home, Arkansas is a spotless mid-sized town, just two easy hours from the national airport in Springfield, MO. Hotels and restaurants range from economy to upscale. And, there are two rivers: the White and the Norfolk, both tail waters. But I was right about the fishing - my daughter and I landed more than 50 fish in two days of fishing, one day on each river. Much of our success was due to our guide Larry Babin, the owner of Hogs on the Fly and manager of Natural State a Fly Shop. His boat is an Adipose skiff. It's extremely comfortable and able to skim skinny water. Of course, he knew where to go and what to tie on, but he also knew how to manage a float with both a very experienced angler and one who fishes infrequently. He knew when to advise and when to watch. Larry is a soft spoken, cheerful, young gentleman. I recommend Larry, Mountain Home, and the White and Norfolk rivers. It's an easy and very enjoyable trip to make."

I would highly recommend Hogs on the Fly to flyfishermen and women of all levels of experience!…read more Larry Babin is an excellent guide who is encouraging, knowledgeable, patient, and entertaining! He picked us up from Natural State Fly Shop, across the street from Cotter Trout Lodge, which was incredibly convenient, as we were staying there! There was never a dull moment on his boat! My wife is a beginner flyfisher and Larry coached her and she was successfully catching fish. We ended up catching 1 Cutthroat Trout, 2 Brown Trout, and I lost count of how many Rainbow Trout we caught! The White River is an exceptional fishery best fished with an exceptional guide service, Hogs on the Fly!

We looked up fly shops near us online and pulled up to the WRTC. We were warmly greeted by Missy and found ourselves in a top of the line fly shop with every reel, rod, and piece of gear you need to haul in a 40lb brown. We were able to check into a nice room with a full bath, comfy beds and a full kitchen. Kyle (one of the guides) was super helpful with what flies to throw and sent us to Rim Shoal where we got hooked into some beautiful scenery and some nice rainbows. Clay (manager) came and personally checked on us and made us feel like we were at a home away from home. I've fished Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska and plenty of southern streams. The White River Trout Club stands out as one of the best places I've stayed with its excellent hosts, amenities, scenery, and fishing. I will definitely be back with my friends and family to enjoy more of what the WRTC has to offer.
