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, 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.
What’s New

No closed season here on the White River, just year round trophy trout fishing! 2020 is off to a great start and likely one of the best years to date for catching quality trout. Big browns and big rainbows bring big smiles!

Man I gotta come up there , stayed at Stetsons had a blast but never caught one like that .
We will be there on the 1st! So excited hopefully tie into some good fish!

Amazing! Time to plan a visit soon.
I would enjoy hooking into one of these
Day after day, the White River continues to produce quality fish! February is right around the corner and one of the best months for throwing streamers and lures. Give us a call to set up a trip.
Here is Jonathan Waltz with his 24.5” brown trout. Judging by the size of the head on this fish, it’s going to big boy years from now.

Well done Jonathan!! < "(D2)>{{
How long do you think that fish will live with those fingers in the gills?
A lot of folks don't realize that that fish would be delicious grilled with butter and lemon on it. As my mother would say it would clean up like a Kroger salmon. We,ve stayed at Gastons a few times and always caught enough to feed the 7-12 of us that came . They put 5 million in the rivers every year and have good slots and limits in place so enjoy the resource.
Gorgeous
Patrick.....we need to get our act together and our calendar!
One of my favorite places 👍👍👍

If you wondering when to come chase big browns, the time is now! Here is Lynn Johnson’s fish of a lifetime. He caught it while throwing a stick bait.
If you like throwing lures or streamers, the White River has producing some quality fish lately.

Browns are spawning
Hey Steve Hooked Lopez, Lynn Johnson just seriously raised the bar.
I thought all of the brown trout were upriver near the dam spawning were fishing is off limits. When does the Wildlife and fisheries release the shad they will kill in Lake Bull Shoals for the hungry spawning brown trout?
WOW, can Mitch go with us on the White trip?
How is the bite usually first week of march
Can not wait. Lindsay Preston Brown
