Michael VowellsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedExperience of a lifetime!!!
Full Day Trip on March 29, 2025 • 3 adultsThis was truly an experience of a lifetime for my two boys and I. We caught so many fish that we cut it down to a half day trip. I also caught my personal best 25” brown trout!!! We can’t wait to come back! Cobb was one of the best guides and most experienced that I’ve ever had and I have fished from coast to coast. Truly wonderful experience!

Full Day Trip on July 5, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 childJenkins guide service was top notch. Guide put us on fish all day and was great with any questions we had. Owner was the best anyone could ask for. We caught a limit apiece and that’s with the water being high. Will definitely be back later in the year and will be booking with Mr Jenkins on our next trip.

Our trip with Jenkins was an absolute blast. Even with challenging water levels, our guide got us on the fish and we caught trout all day long. We started at 7:30 for a full day outing and enjoyed every second. The lunch provided was really good, and a chance to eat fresh caught trout made a great day even better. All the guys at Jenkins were friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Will definitely do this trip again!
Sir - thank you for the great review. It was a pleasure meeting you and we look forward to seeing you again.

It was great meeting you and your son. Thank you for letting us be a part of your first trout fishing trip and for the great review. We look forward to seeing you all again.
My husband and I booked a trip on thanksgiving weekend and despite the cold and the river conditions we did great! it was cold and windy, but Ron our guide was persistent- with heart and his knowledge he made sure we fished and were successful! He was so knowledgeable of the river and guided us to the spots he knew. (i out fished him! 😜)my husband didnt catch his goal brown trout, but that is the luck of the draw. however today ended with big smiles and a desire to fish more next year! A big thanks to Ron and company for accommodating us. Happy Holidays! love, the Poe’s! keith and kaila poe
Thank you for fishing with us. Ron is an amazing guide and I'm glad he got you on the fish. We look forward to seeing you again.
This trip was wonderful! It was my birthday and we caught more trout then I could imagine. I hadn’t fished in quite a number of years but they made it easy to get back in the hang of it. The guide grew up in Calico Rock!! Experience in the area is priceless. The White River was a bucket list for me and this service checked all the boxes!!!!
It was great meeting you and your husband. Thank you for choosing to fish with. The guide said you did well and judging by the fish you kept I agree. We hope you enjoy eating the trout you caught.
