Excited to catch some fish in Mountain View? Make it happen, with J & J Guide Service! Captain Jeff will be your guide, offering years of local experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Brown Trout, Smallmouth Bass, and who knows what else!
On these trips, you can expect to troll using light tackle.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You’ll be casting lines from a 21’ Supreme flats boat that holds up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it is necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. A trout tag is also required.

It’s always wise to bring sunblock and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

J & J Guide Service will make it easy for you to go fishing in Mountain View. So, how about booking that trip?

What a blast during thanksgiving week
Full Day Trip (3 people) on November 25, 20253 adults
My buddies and I decided to go on a fishing trip for thanksgiving this year. We booked with Jeff and he was extremely easy to get in contact with. The fishing was next level, my buddies and I caught at least 30 rainbows a piece on first full day. We also added a half day to our trip and caught a bunch trout as well. Jeff is really easy to get along with and is very knowledgeable of the river. I have fished a lot of rivers in the united states with guides and Jeff was one of the best i’ve had. I look forward to booking him again

Great Experience, Will Do Again!!!
Half Day Trip (up to 2 people) on August 16, 20252 adults
My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic time fishing with J & J Guide Service in Mountain View, AR! Captain Jeff was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and patient, making the entire experience fun and stress-free. We booked a half-day trip, and within no time, we were reeling in trout after trout. The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfectly set up for fishing, and all the gear provided was top-notch. Captain Jeff knew exactly where to take us, and thanks to his expertise, we caught plenty of beautiful Rainbow and Brown Trout. My wife and I both agreed it was one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever had. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just starting out, this trip is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty of the river and catch some fish along the way. We highly recommend J & J Guide Service for anyone visiting the Mountain View area. We can’t wait to come back and book another trip!

Awesome guide and an awesome trip
Half Day Trip (up to 2 people) on July 30, 20252 adults
My wife and I really enjoyed our trip with J and J guide service. He was professional and knew exactly where to take us to catch trout. His boat was great it was a newer boat and was very stable it also had a bigger motor which allowed us to get up the river faster and start fishing sooner than the people we passed heading to where the fish were. We were able to limit out and then continue to fish (catch and release) until our time was up. I plan on using him again on our next trip

We absolutely loved our day out on the water. Jeff was so patient and kind throughout the entire day. He made sure we were taken care of the entire time! Whether it was keeping bait on the hooks, keeping lines from getting tangled or getting us to the right spot on the water, he made sure we were comfortable and understood all the aspects of trout fishing, and more importantly the environment and flow of the river. We will most definitely be back, worth every

Full Day Trip (up to 2 people) on June 19, 20252 adults
My wife and I had an amazing day on the White River with Jeff as our fishing guide. The water was high and conditions weren’t ideal, but thanks to Jeff’s knowledge and persistence, I caught plenty of fish and had a fantastic time. My wife came along more for the experience than the fishing, and she was a bit anxious at first. Jeff was incredibly genuine, thoughtful, and attentive—he made sure she was comfortable, relaxed, and having fun the entire time. He struck the perfect balance between making sure I had a great fishing experience and ensuring she enjoyed the ride. Jeff is clearly passionate about what he does and it shows. If you’re looking for a guide who truly takes care of his clients, you won’t do better than Jeff. Five stars—highly recommended!
