The mist rising off the river in the early morning, the thrill of a rainbow trout leaping clear out of the water, and the satisfaction of perfecting your cast under the watchful eye of our expert guides. And let's not forget the camaraderie. There's something special about sharing a boat and a campfire with fellow anglers. By the end of this trip, you'll have new fishing buddies and stories to last a lifetime.
Rainbow Trout: These beauties are the bread and butter of the White River. Known for their acrobatic fights and stunning colors, rainbows here can grow up to 20 inches or more. They're aggressive feeders and will hit everything from nymphs to streamers. Spring and fall are prime times to target these guys, but honestly, they're biting year-round.
Brown Trout: Now we're talking trophy fish. The White River is famous for its monster browns, with fish over 30 inches not unheard of. These are the crafty old-timers of the river – wary and smart. They're most active during low light conditions, so early mornings and evenings are your best bet. Landing a big brown is the ultimate badge of honor on this river.
Cutthroat Trout: Less common than rainbows and browns, but man, are they a treat to catch. Cutthroats in the White River are typically smaller, but what they lack in size they make up for in beauty. That distinctive red slash under their jaw is a sight to behold. They're most active in the cooler months and love to hit dry flies – perfect for those who enjoy the finesse of fly fishing.
Brook Trout: The native char of the eastern U.S., brookies are a bit of a bonus catch in the White River. They're not as common or as large as the other species, but they're absolutely gorgeous. Those vivid red spots and blue halos make them a favorite among anglers who appreciate the finer details. Fall is the best time to target these guys, as their colors really pop during spawning season.

Give us a call, and let's get you out on the White River for an adventure you'll be talking about for years to come. Trust me, once you experience this river, you'll be hooked for life.
Brook trout are the jewels of the White River's smaller tributaries. These little fighters usually top out around 12 inches, with vivid red spots and blue halos. You'll find them in cold, clean headwaters, often tucked behind rocks or logs. Fall is prime time as they put on their spawning colors. Anglers love "brookies" for their eager bites and gorgeous patterns - they're like living works of art. While small, their meat is considered the best-tasting of all trout. To catch brook trout, go light with 2-4 weight rods and small flies. A local secret: after a summer shower, toss a terrestrial pattern like an ant or beetle near overhanging branches. The brookies can't resist.

Brown trout are the bruisers of the White River. These golden-brown fighters average 2-4 pounds but trophy fish over 10 pounds aren't unheard of. You'll find them lurking near structure like submerged logs and undercut banks. Browns are most active at dawn and dusk, especially in fall when they get aggressive before spawning. Anglers love targeting browns for their powerful runs and selective feeding habits. The meat has a rich, almost nutty flavor. To fool a big brown, try slow-stripping streamers along deeper pools. A tip from the locals: On cloudy days, don't be afraid to go big with your flies - monster browns often key in on larger prey.

Cutthroat trout are a real treat to catch on the White River. These native beauties usually run 10-16 inches and sport distinctive red slashes under their jaws. You'll find them in clear, cold riffles and pools, often near gravel beds. Spring and early summer are prime, when insects are hatching. Cutthroats are known for their willingness to rise to dry flies, making for exciting sight fishing. They're not the biggest fighters, but their stunning colors and delicate flavor more than make up for it. To target cutthroats, try casting small dry flies or nymphs upstream and letting them drift naturally. One local trick: focus on the seams between fast and slow water - cutthroats love to hide there and ambush prey.

Rainbow trout are a favorite here on the White River. These colorful beauties typically run 1-3 pounds but can get up to 5 or more. Look for them in riffles, pools, and along current seams. They're active year-round but really turn on in spring and fall. Rainbows put up an acrobatic fight, often leaping clear out of the water. Their pink meat is delicious too. For best results, try drifting small nymphs or egg patterns through deeper runs. A local secret is using a San Juan worm after a good rain - the trout can't resist 'em. Whether you're new to fly fishing or an old hand, landing one of these gems is always a thrill.
