At Rising River Guides, traditionally we are fly fishing the white river. However, sometimes we understand you are just not into fly fishing. We still want to take you fishing! We believe in conservation and taking care of the fish that take care of us. Spin fishing can often be very hard on the trout, but not always. Jigs are the exception.
One of the most deadly techniques for trout fishing is spin fishing with a jig. We use lightweight spinning tackle and fish marabou jigs. These jigs can imitate shad, crawfish, sculpin, and an array of other baitfish. The jigs are irresistible and easy to fish. Most importantly after we pinch the barbs they are basically just flies.

These will need to be purchased prior to meeting your guide.

Due to the release schedules of the South West Power Authority being released at 4pm every day, we have to plan on the fly. No pun intended.
Where we meet and what times we meet will vary depending on the flow schedule that is released the day before your trip with us.
Your guide will be in touch every step of the way and will contact you the evening before your trip and set up a time and location to meet for pickup.
When you book a spin fishing trip, there are a few things you can expect to experience. First and foremost, you’ll be fishing in some of the most beautiful locations that Arkansas has to offer. No matter if we’re on the Norfork or the White, you’re sure to have the perfect backdrop for your day of fishing with us!
When it comes to the actual fishing, you can expect to use lightweight spinning tackle and fish with jigs, as mentioned earlier. Your guide will provide you with all the necessary gear, including rods, reels, line, and jigs. They’ll also teach you how to cast, retrieve, and work the jig to entice the fish to strike.
Throughout the trip, your guide will share their knowledge and expertise on the best fishing techniques and locations for the species you’re targeting. They’ll also give you tips on how to read the water, identify the best spots to fish, and how to approach the fish stealthily.
While there’s never a guarantee when it comes to fishing, you can expect to have a great time on your spin fishing trip. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, your guide will make sure you have a memorable experience and help you reel in some impressive catches. So come prepared to learn, have fun, and hopefully, catch some fish!
