 Cotter Trout Dock - Cotter, Arkansas Trout Fishing Trips - Guided Trout Fishing Float Trips, Arkansas Fishing and Camping Trips, White River Guided Trout Fishing
It's All About Relaxation and Fun We think you will find a guided Arkansas trout fishing trip is one of the best bargains around. Some people; new to trout fishing, believe that "trout fishing" means that you have to fish with fly fishing gear. Most of the "locals" here and most of our guests do not use fly fishing gear; they use spinning or spincasting rods/reels. No experience required! Fly fishing is a wonderful sport and we take out many fly-fishers, but it is not the only way to fish for trout. Fly fishing is becoming more and more popular over the years; around here as elsewhere. Your guide can do everything for you, including casting, or he can just get you there and let you catch the trout. Or anything in between these two extremes. Just depends on your experience, etc. Either way, stories and laughs will be provided. And if you choose, you may also enjoy a great White River, Arkansas trout fishing tradition; the shore lunch . In addition to our regular " day trips" we do "camp" trips. Our "camp" trips are more accurately "fish and then camp" trips. Our trout fishing and camping float trip is a truly therapeutic adventure. When the trout fishing day is over you'll camp on our private 15 acre wooded island. You'll enjoy a tasty steak dinner cooked over oak coals, then relax with your friends around the campfire until retiring to your tent to sleep on a comfortable cot. In the morning you'll watch our cooks prepare your breakfast over the campfire as you sip hot coffee. Over the last 54 years we've heard thousands of happy customers claim that our White River Arkansas Ozarks float trips are unforgettable fun and relaxation.Those who have never fished in their lives come away amazed at the fun they had, and how much they relaxed in such a short time. And the seasoned fishers make the same claim. A Personal Note...... There are a lot of things we love about this Arkansas trout fishing business; our guests, our guides and just the rivers. But the best thing is to see the difference in brand new guests from the time they arrive to the time they get back to the dock at the end of the day. You can sometimes see some tension and worry on their faces when they walk in our door for the first time. When they get back to the dock after fishing, it's all gone. That truly is the best part of our day, and Debbie and I just look at each other and smile 'cause we knew it was going to happen. Always does.
