Our History

Gaston's White River Resort began 67 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, Jim’s 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.

**Your event will start the evening before as we enjoy a private dinner together. You are welcome to come alone, or bring a spouse or friend to share the boat with you the next day. We will enjoy a full day of fishing together at your leisure. This can be fun fishing, or instructional. I’m happy to teach you all of the shallow water techniques I know. Bring your own gear, or I will supply mine.
This will be my 2nd event of 2026, and hopefully we will have two more in the fall in different locations around the country. Space is extremely limited and sells out quickly. Let’s go fishing together.

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.
