2006 -2007

"We just returned from our “annual pilgrimage” to the best resort
in the world. I don’t know of any other place where I can have a
great time each and EVERY time I visit! My husband and my
dogs agree! Ron was our guide, and he really showed us a great
time! The water cooperated our first day out, and we caught
(and released) more and larger fish than I could count. He
cleaned some rainbow stockers for us in the afternoon, so the
dinner experience was an added bonus. Ron was able to find fish
for us on low water, on rising water, and on falling water! Our cabin
was perfect, the weather was great, it just doesn’t get any better!"
Karen, Little Rock, Arkansas

"We would like to thank you for your hospitality and outstanding
service. In these troubling times, it is refreshing to be able to enjoy

hope we will be able to join you again. Thank you for a memorable time."

visit this past weekend. The staff was helpful and friendly and answered every question
we could pose (which was plenty). The scenery was spectacular, the accommodations
were more than comfortable, the food was terrific and the fishing was great!

We caught seventeen beautiful rainbow trout (all released) Saturday between the three of us,
including this one in the enclosed picture of my son Patrick, caught just below the Bull Shoals Dam.
Our guide, couldn't have been nicer and really knew the White River.

We will be back and will recommend to our friends. Thanks again to all the staff for a memorable trip!..."
