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.
