Local Fishing Insights
The White River near Gassville offers exceptional trout fishing opportunities throughout the year. The tailwater below Bull Shoals Dam maintains cool temperatures year-round, supporting a thriving trout population. Water levels can fluctuate based on power generation schedules from the dam, which actually creates different fishing opportunities depending on conditions. During high water, drift fishing from a boat is often most effective, while wade fishing can be productive during low water periods.
Seasonal patterns affect trout behavior on the White River, with spring and fall generally providing consistent action. Summer fishing can be excellent during power generation when cooler water flows from the depths of Bull Shoals Lake. Winter offers the chance at trophy brown trout, which become more aggressive during spawning season. Clint stays updated on current conditions and tailors techniques accordingly, from drifting live bait to presenting flies and artificial lures depending on what the fish are responding to.
Plan Your Fishing Charter Day
When booking with Wilkinson Outdoor Adventures, come prepared for a full day on the water. Dress in layers appropriate for the season, as morning temperatures on the river can be significantly cooler than afternoon highs. Don't forget sun protection including hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. While all fishing equipment is provided, you're welcome to bring your favorite rod and reel if preferred.
Trips typically meet at a designated launch point along the White River, with exact details provided upon booking. Most guided trips accommodate 1-2 anglers comfortably, though larger groups can sometimes be arranged with advance notice. Photography is encouraged to document your catch, with Clint happy to snap photos of your trophy moments. For optimal fishing conditions, early morning and late afternoon trips often produce the best results, especially during summer months.
