    solo adventure to learn how to fish

    3 Hour Trip (PM) on April 25, 2026 • 1 adult

    I came to Eureka Springs to complete a 8 year dream . sometimes to do things on your own could be difficult but lately I have to adventure outside my comfort zone. My dad love fishing but never fished with him . I asked my best friend to teach me he said no because he was ocd about teaching. So as 65 female I took on myself and reached to Eric. He is a good teacher and very patient. I truly love the experience and started to love fishing. After the video that I sent my best friend now he knows i can fish and promise to take me out fishing. Thank yo Eric for joining on my journey

    Amazing trip!

    3 Hour Trip (PM) on March 29, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Eric was a great captain and he took us to quite a few different spots around the lake. We had 2, 12-year-old boys with us and he was extremely patient and attentive with them. Everyone cut fish and Eric was extremely helpful when it came to showing technique for the area. I would definitely recommend him to anybody looking for a fun fishing trip.

    Captain Eric is the man!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on November 8, 2025 • 4 adults

    Eric was the best. It was a pretty chilly morning that started off slow, and even though the fish weren’t really interested in us, we had the best time hanging out with Eric and learning about Beaver lake! 10/10 would go again!

Eric is a legend
4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 21, 2026 • 2 adults • 3 children

Eric was not only very knowledgeable but great to work with logistically especially because we needed to chnage days due to extreme heat! more than accommodating with that! He was fantastic with my three sons and loved the energy and excitement they put out! Overall felt like Eric was a long lost family friend taking us out on the water! Highly recommend! Id book with him again automatically. Thanks Eric!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Captain Eric has had a passion for fishing since he was just 3 years old. His grandfather was a resort owner and world record holder for Brown trout on the famed white river in Arkansas and he had a huge impact on Captain Eric. Some of Captain Eric's most vivid memories as a kid were spending time with his grandfather on the river. Captain Eric was just 10 when his grandfather passed away, and he had no idea that he was going to follow in his footsteps. You truly never know in what ways you may have an influence on children. Growing up, he would plant himself in front of the television with all his fishing gear and watch fishing shows. He used to dream of hoisting a big trophy on the National stage. In 2019, he fulfilled his dream happened by holding the trophy in the FLW Costa Series event on Table Rock Lake! He felt as his grandfather was with him that day!
