Fish the White River’s Beaver Tailwater near Eureka Springs on a private trout trip with Day Trippin Eureka Springs.

Sara keeps trips personal, relaxed, and hands-on for 1–3 anglers. Whether you’re an experienced angler, introducing a child to fishing, or trying trout fishing for the first time, she’ll adjust the trip to your experience level and current river conditions.

You’ll fish from a 17' Bass Tracker equipped with a Minn Kota i-Pilot trolling motor with Spot-Lock, Lowrance GPS/fish finder, and live well. Depending on conditions, techniques may include light tackle, spinning, trolling, and drift fishing while targeting rainbow trout on the White River below Beaver Dam.

Rods, reels, terminal tackle, live bait, and lures are included. Legal keeper trout can be cleaned after the trip, and catch-and-release anglers are always welcome.

Not everyone in your group has to be an avid angler. The Beaver Tailwater is also a beautiful stretch of the Ozarks, making this a great private outing for couples, families, and guests who simply enjoy being on the river.

Guests are responsible for obtaining any required Arkansas fishing license and trout permit before the trip. Bring weather-appropriate clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, snacks, and anything else you’d like for a comfortable morning on the water.

Come spend a few hours fishing the White River near Eureka Springs, learning the water, making memories, and enjoying a private Ozark fishing experience with Sara.

    Day Trippin’ White River

    4 Hour Trip on October 24, 2026

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Fishing Experience! I had a fantastic time on my guided fishing trip with Sara at Day Trippin on May 3, 2026! Sara was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking to try something new, Sara makes you feel welcome and helps make the trip memorable. The scenery was beautiful, the fishing was great, and it was an experience I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the Eureka Springs area. If you’re looking for a great fishing guide who truly cares about giving you a wonderful experience, book with Sara at Day Trippin! I’ll definitely be recommending her to others! 🎣

    A rainbow trout and a memory with my son

    4 Hour Trip on September 28, 2026

    I went fishing with my incredible son and Sara, our fishing guide, and it was a day I’ll always remember. My son and I hadn’t fished together in probably over 40 years, so getting to share that experience again—and catching a rainbow trout—was really special. The scenery was beautiful, but the best part was simply spending time on the water with my son. Thank you, Sara and Day Trippin, for helping us make a memory that means so much. I’m so glad we did this!

    Fishing with Sara

    4 Hour Trip on September 18, 2026

    Holy moly the scenery in the morning was phenomenal, the mist was hugging the mountains and the river was smooth as glass. The wildlife viewing was spectacular. Even caught some fish! The crew was amazing and professional and knew where the best spots were for catching fish. I would highly recommend Day Trippin’ for a fishing trip on White River.

For Sara, fishing is about more than what ends up on the line. It’s about the moments people remember long after the trip is over – and helping them understand more about the river and fishing along the way. Picture launching onto the White River while fog still hangs over the water. The sun begins to rise above the Ozark hills and limestone bluffs, the river slowly comes to life, and then suddenly a rod bends. That first strike can become a memory someone talks about for years. It might be a child catching their first trout, a couple sharing a quiet morning on the river, or an experienced angler feeling that familiar anticipation of the next cast. Sara also loves to teach. She doesn’t just tell you where to cast – she explains the how and why behind it. You’ll learn techniques, how to read the water, why one presentation may work better than another, and how changing river conditions affect where trout are and how they feed. Beginners can learn without feeling rushed. Experienced anglers can pick up new ideas and insight into fishing the Beaver Tailwater. Ask questions, try something new, and enjoy a relaxed, personal, hands-on day on the river. The fish are part of the adventure. The goal is to leave with a great story, a few photos, new knowledge, and memories worth taking home.
