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.

Great experience on the White River!
6 hour trip 2 people on July 22, 20262 adults

Jeff Wallace of J&J Guide Service provided a great 6 hour trip of trout fishing for my daughter and I. We were staying about an hour away from his usual launch site, so he met us further upstream to shorten our travel time. He also allowed us to start an hour earlier to avoid much of the July heat. His guide experience put us on Rainbows immediately even though it was the peak of the slow bite season. He knew exactly where to go and got us positioned over the honey holes. We lost count of how many fish we caught we were having so much fun. Jeff is a professional in every sense of the word. I can't recommend him enough. The memories Jeff provided for my daughter and I are absolutely priceless!

6 hour trip 3 people on July 7, 20263 adults

What a Wonderful trip for the Grandkids and a girlfriend, Jeff was such a great guide. He was very attentive to helping the girlfriend (Kori), she didnt want to touch the fish and Jeff was right their to help her to bait and take off the hook. Jeff was fishing beside her and he would let her reel in the fishes. As the boys, they had done some fishing before buthe was right there when they caught a big one that would snap their line and Jeff was ready to give them another pole while he would fix theirs at a quick speed. Jeff knew all the spots to hit and it shows that he knows the river and where to go during the day and timeframe. ALL of us aboard Jeff’s trip in July had a WONDERFUL 6 hour trip fishing with him. And will DEFINITELY have him do any other fishing trips here on out!!!! Thank you again for a memorable EXPERIENCE for them. Grandma

6 hour trip 2 people on May 20, 20262 adults

Jeff has years of experience as a fishing guide in this area and it shows. We fished the White River. He consulted with us about weather and water clarity concerns, had options in case one area didn't work out, and had new equipment that worked well. He was at the boat ramp early, ascertained our level of experience, and got us into fish quickly. We did the 6 hour trip and had a blast, catching great numbers of rainbow and brown trout despite some less-than-ideal water clarity first thing in the morning. At the end of the trip, he asked how we wanted the fish we kept prepared, then cleaned and bagged them for us, and provided some restaurant recommendations. He really put in the work to make this a great fishing trip for us. We will be back.

So Much Fun!!!
Half Day Trip (up to 2 people) on July 25, 20261 adult1 child

This was a very special trip - Mimi and Grandson…my son recommended J and J because of the exceptional experience they had previously and believe me when I say it was just an exceptional experience for us as well. We caught a ton of trout and learned a great deal about different types of baits and how to fish with them. Additionally, he was so so so good to us, especially my grandson. I can’t wait for my next trip with him!

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
