Licensed, insured and professional.

The only guide service on the White River offering low-petroleum fly fishing. The minimal amount of gasoline will always be used, and only in vehicles transferring anglers between river accesses. Gasoline boat motors are never used to catch fish. That ecological and respectful approach to fly fishing protects the river, the wildlife and ensures others are not affected by the sound, smell and impact of gasoline on the river.

This monster smallmouth weighed five pounds and was caught and released on the Buffalo River. Fish this size are few and far between, but they still lurk in the river. If you’re lucky, you might catch one.
