Ike’s Ozark Fly Fishing

Ike’s Ozark Fly Fishing guides the White River tailwater out of Mountain Home, Arkansas, and also fishes the Norfork. The boat is a 2019 22 foot Top Water riverboat rigged with oars and a Tohatsu motor, which lets a day mix quiet rowing through slower water with running between stretches. Full days are $600 for two anglers with lunch included; half days are $400 without one. Big browns, hearty rainbows, cutthroats, and brookies are how the guide describes what lives in the river. Custom tied flies and quality fly fishing equipment are on hand, and light tackle spin trips are offered for anglers who would rather not throw a fly line. Ike calls himself patient and laid back and a teacher by temperament, and takes both experienced anglers and people picking up a rod for the first time. A $200 non-refundable deposit holds a date.
