What is The Fisherman's Lodge?
Our two-story lodge includes a 50 to 75 seat conference center, entertainment decks with BBQ equipment, guest rooms with private full baths, and a great room with kitchen. The Lodge is "base camp" for our guided White River trout fishing trips.

The Fisherman's Lodge offers complete White River trout fishing trip packages for individuals and groups of all types. Everything you need, we can provide - your fishing license, your meals, your tackle, your lodging, your guide, your boat. Hold a meeting in our conference center, then go fishing, play golf, or do both!

Add a golf outing to your Fisherman's Lodge package and we'll reserve tee times for you at Big Creek Golf & Country Club. Big Creek is one of Arkansas' new championship grade 18 hole courses that's 15 minutes from our lodge. Group and individual plans available.

The Fisherman's Lodge is also available for local meetings, weddings, family reunions, and similar gatherings. You may rent part of, or the entire lodge. For details visit our lodge page.

Why Choose the Fisherman's Lodge?
We'll quote what our many repeat customers tell us. It won't be the 30-plus trout you'll catch every day, or our home-cooked meals, or the comfort of our fresh, modern lodge, or even the surprisingly affordable price for this long list of pleasures. Then why do many of our guests come back, trip after trip? They say it is our genuine old-fashioned Southern Hospitality that we serve every minute of their stay.

They mention the little things, like our cook making sure there was enough gravy on their biscuits. Our guides getting them a soda and opening it so they didn't have to put their fishing rod down, our host making sure their bedroom was the right temperature, that they had enough pillows. We're frequently told we make our guests almost feel guilty, what with all the attention we give them!

To us, Southern Hospitality means ensuring you enjoy the same things we do, at the same level of satisfaction we do. It is a process of true sharing and giving so that you'll be delighted the first time. We too love to fish and eat with our friends. We too want a good night's sleep so we'll have energy to do it again the next day. True Southern Hospitality means making sure you enjoy all these things before we do. Otherwise it is no fun for us! Because we've been hosting fishing trips for over 25 years, we know how to ensure you'll have an absolutely wonderful trip. Your trip starts with a good night's sleep.

Three  Fantastic Meals A Day
If we have learned anything in 25 years of hosting a good fishing trip, it is that fantastic meals make the fishing even better. We feed you well at breakfast, usually around 6:30am. At noon you'll enjoy a shore lunch second to none right on the river bank. For supper you'll enjoy another feast at the lodge. For more photos of our meals click this link:

For Groups or Individuals
The two second story decks, the Great Room, and the Conference Room are all connected. You can mingle on two levels with ease. Have group cook outs, weddings, family reunions, sales meetings, or any other gathering where a modern facility is your need for groups of up to 100 persons. And if you want a quiet time at The Fisherman's Lodge, just ask us for a date when there are no groups scheduled. However, please plan well in advance.

Our Real Joy
If we did not enjoy trout fishing as much as we do, there is no way we'd still be doing it after 25 years. It is hard work when done well! But the fact is, we're addicted to it. We built the Lodge just to give folks a place to sleep so they could fish for more than a day away from home. Seeing so many people relax, forget their stress factor, and smile over a trout (or holler as many do) makes it all more than worthwhile. That is why we do all we can to ensure not only your catch success, but the fun that makes the entire trip a powerful memory. As you can imagine, we offer several types of fishing trips - trophy fishing, family fishing, group fishing, and what we call fast-action fishing.
