Unmatched Trout Fishing Excursions

Discover the joy of trout fishing on the picturesque White River in Eureka Springs, Arkansas with your fishing guide Jason Salgado. If you've already discovered the joy of fishing, come throw some lines! Open to anglers of all levels. Jason can teach you to fish if you want to learn.

Jason was born and raised in Southern California. His Mom grew up on a farm just east of Eureka Springs in Berryville, AR. He spent almost every Summer as a child on the farm, where he learned to fish in the farm pond, local creeks, Kings River and the White river. He left California in 2016 with his wife and bought a house on the White River where they own and operate an AirBnB/Lodging White River Valley Lodge. Both love to fish on the White River and Beaver Lake!

Jason will guide your trip on the Beaver Tailwaters that start from the Beaver Dam and flows 7 miles down an original part of the White River to Houseman Access, in Busch, AR, where we meet and launch, opening up to Table Rock lake near the Missouri border. Boat occupancy is 2 per trip. The boat is an aluminum 17' 2022 Havoc VJST-C, 40hp Tohatsu motor, equipped with a Minn Kota Terrova remote control trolling motor and a Garmin fish finder. All spinning rods/reels and tackle are provided, but you can also bring your own rigs. The water levels change during the seasons, and conditions change with generation schedules from the dam. We can fish all year long depending on weather conditions. The White River is a great trout fishery providing beautiful Rainbow and Brown trout. Different times of year will also bring other varieties of fish such as walleye, crappie, bass, catfish, etc.
