White River access for rainbow and brown trout fishingProfessional guides teach nymphing and spin fishing techniquesHalfday and fullday guided trips available near Eureka Springs
The White River below Bull Shoals Dam has earned its reputation as one of Arkansas's premier trout fisheries, and there's good reason why anglers travel from across the country to wet a line in these cold, crystal-clear waters. When you book with Ozark's Full Stringers LLC, you're not just getting a fishing trip – you're getting access to decades of local knowledge and a guide who knows exactly where the trout are holding on any given day. These waters consistently produce trophy-class rainbow and brown trout, making every cast an opportunity for the fish of a lifetime.
Your guided trout fishing adventure starts early, when the morning mist is still rising off the river and the trout are most active. The White River maintains a consistent cold temperature year-round thanks to the dam release, creating perfect conditions for trout to thrive. You'll be fishing prime sections of river that many visiting anglers never discover on their own – those deep pools and undercut banks where the big browns like to hide, and the swift runs where rainbows chase emergers to the surface. This is single-angler capacity fishing, meaning you get personalized attention and instruction tailored to your skill level. Whether you're a seasoned fly fisherman looking to dial in your nymphing technique or a spin fisher wanting to learn the local hotspots, your guide will adjust the approach to maximize your success and enjoyment on the water.
The White River demands versatility, and that's exactly what you'll get with our guided approach. Nymphing is often the go-to technique here, using weighted flies to get down to where the trout are feeding along the bottom structure. Your guide will show you how to read the water – identifying those subtle current breaks and depth changes that hold fish. We also employ spin fishing techniques using small spoons, spinners, and live bait when conditions call for it. The key is matching your presentation to what the trout want on that particular day, whether it's drifting a size 18 midge pattern through a slow pool or working a Rooster Tail through a riffle. All necessary gear is provided, from rods and reels to terminal tackle, though you're welcome to bring your own setup if you prefer. The guides carry a full arsenal of proven local patterns and lures, plus they know exactly which techniques work best in each section of river depending on water levels, weather conditions, and seasonal patterns.

Rainbow trout are the stars of the White River show, and these aren't your typical stocked fish that fight like wet socks. These rainbows have been living in cold, flowing water with plenty of food, making them strong, healthy, and absolutely gorgeous. You'll find them ranging from feisty 10-inchers that'll bend your rod to chunky 18+ inch specimens that'll test your drag system. Rainbows here feed actively throughout the day on aquatic insects, small baitfish, and crustaceans. They're most aggressive during the cooler months from October through March, but summer fishing can be phenomenal early in the morning and late in the evening. What makes these rainbows special is their willingness to hit a variety of presentations – they'll slam a well-presented nymph, chase down a spinner, or rise to take a dry fly during a hatch. The fight is what keeps anglers coming back: these fish will jump, run, and use every bit of current to try to throw your hook. When you net a thick White River rainbow with its bright pink stripe and spotted flanks, you'll understand why this fishery has such a loyal following among serious trout anglers.

Our 2020 Shawnee 16-foot Jon boat is built for serious trout fishing on the White River. With a reliable 15HP engine that cruises at 20 mph, we can quickly reach the best fishing spots while keeping noise levels low so we don't spook the fish. The boat comfortably seats up to 4 anglers with plenty of room for tackle boxes, rods, and your catch. Its shallow draft design lets us access those hard-to-reach pools where the big rainbow and brown trout like to hide. The stable platform makes it easy to cast flies or work spinners, whether you're standing or sitting. Perfect for both beginners learning the ropes and experienced anglers looking to land their next trophy trout in Arkansas waters.
