We are grateful to be nestled in one of the most productive trout fisheries in the world...
...and would like to invite you to see for yourself.
Our History
Gaston's White River Resort began 61 years ago when Al Gaston, Jim Gaston's father, purchased 20 acres of White River frontage with six small cottages and six boats...the year was 1958.
Present day, Jimâs grandson - Clint Gaston - will carry on the family legacy for many years to come. The resort now covers over 400 acres, and has 79 cottages ranging in size from two double beds to ten private bedrooms. The airstrip has grown from 1,800 feet to 3,200 feet. The six boats are now over 70, and with a state of the art dock to hold them all. The years have brought an award winning restaurant, private club, gift shop, tennis court, playground, game room, duck pond, three nature trails, swimming pool, conference lodge, and fly fishing school.

Nice! See ya Friday. We’re fishing and watching Razorbacks rain or shine. Taylor Smith Garrett Augusts Scott Hovious jeff Jeffery Landsaw Walter Blythe
Just another day spent on the water with Jarrod Ruggles! Give us a call when youâre ready to experience the White River with a fly rod in your hand.Dennis the Menace with a nice buck Brown ! Surface takes will never get old !!
Fall has settled in and with very little rain to speak of and no rain in the forecast, lake levels are low. We will likely see minimum flow sticking around for a bit. Itâs time to stretch those leaders out and focus on high dissolved oxygen areas of the river.

It was caught by Beverly Carpenter from Paris Texas. I was happy to be her and her husband David Carpenter’s guide. Great people.
Beautiful fish. I sure miss fishing the white from my childhood. At least I live in North East Texas and have some awesome bass lakes around.
Hook 'Em! Awesome fish!!!!
Last trip we went i caught mine as well as my limit in 3 4 hours. 24 total myself and stepfather i had to help him a little. Lol.
Love Gaston’s!!
Great catch!!
Awesome tiger

Don't wait until it is too late! This photo is from mid-November 2021, but the colors have already started turning here in the Ozarks. Fall colors mean fall fishing and our guides are geared up to go. Lodging books fast when the colors start changing so call us today to reserve your stay. 870-431-5202
It was an annual event for me and my brother for several years between Christmas and New Years. Booked a two bedroom cabin, ate at their restaurant, fished and watched football in the evenings. Such a fantastic place!
Forget Bass Pro. Drop 500 at Gastons, eat great food, hire a guide and stay a while. This is prime Time. If you have never caught a five pound trout, what's keeping you?
Is Anyone flying into Gaston’s from Harrison airport on November 1st? I’m trying to surprise my husband with fishing trip for his birthday. We are taking Commercial airlines as close as we can get. But it would be awesome to fly him in over the river and land the grass strip.
Was there several years ago, flew in with 3 friends. Had a really nice dinner and flew back home to Conway, ( Toad Suck) .
Nice place to go. Went last year and it was very nice.. The food is great!!!!
Malachi McDonald y’all need to go here … this is a fun trout fishing trip
How close is this to spider Creek resort or cabins I built those in the early 90s
So many wonderful memories there and I still love that place I just wish they hadn’t built those houses across the river from it.
We are booked at Gaston’s for Oct. We can’t wait!
I was in the area last weekend and the color was good. Mostly on the Ridge tops.
My wife and I would go there a few times very cool place I would fish Walleye and Crappie above the Dam at Howard Creek .
Made reservations a week or so ago for February. đ. We love it there but hate to hear about the eagle nest. đ©
Have fun, be safe and buy me a present…that’s what I always tell Burt when he’s going somewhere..ha ha
Ate at their great restaurant once !! Great view of river !!!
Beautiful there. Been a couple years. Might be time
We love Gaston’s
Caught two browns, 26, and 28 inches. Best fishing!!!
The white River area is gorgeous love the Ozarks
Call Matthew Milner with Rising River Guides in Cotter..If anybody knows how it could be accomplished it would prob be him
Couldn't afford to eat there but cought some nice trout there
Been there once,definitely will go back
Flew in there in early 60’s. Taxied around to gas pump little bump bent a prop.
One of our favorite place, just beautiful!!
Colors are poor in my neck of the woods. Gonna' turn brown and fall off!
Gaston’s is The Best!!

Love me some Gaston’s and White River.

Frequently Asked Questions
The fishing is always good here. The White River stays the same temperature year-round and therefore the trout are always active. You should always be able to catch your limit. Also note that fly fishing is not the only way to fish here; over 85% of everyone that fishes here is spin fishing. You can produce excellent results fishing either way; the main thing is to have fun.
