JFLY FISHING

Here at JFLY, our goal is to provide you with the most professional fly-fishing experience Northwestern Arkansas can offer. From wading secluded spring creeks near the Fayetteville-Bentonville area, to floating the mighty White River, our guides at JFLY are dedicated to showing the beauty of this state’s water to its fullest capacity. Beautiful rivers, great laughs and tight lines are what our guides at JFLY are all about!

We provide float trips on Arkansas’ famous smallmouth rivers such as the Kings River, Illinois River, and Crooked Creek! These three rivers host world-class warmwater fly fishing opportunities. This is an experience like no other, as you wind through shallow, clear water and tall bluff walls surrounded by jungle-like forests to arrive at a perfect spot. Many rivers near the Fayetteville-Bentonville area are filled with life. Species such as native smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, spotted bass, white bass, and various species of carp are available to catch thirty minutes to an hour away from your home! Our guides specialize in wading these secluded creeks, sight-fishing for massive warm-water species in tightly crowded nooks and crannies.

Northern Arkansas is home to some of the best cold-water fly fishing in the world. The White River is filled with massive brown, rainbow, cutthroat, brook, and tiger trout. World-record brown trout have been caught here. Anglers from all over the world come to this river system to take their shot at catching the fish of a lifetime! The White River is known as the “Trout Capital of the USA”, and it for sure lives up to that reputation! Year-round fishing for trout on this river allows us to attack them from all different angles, subsurface nymphing, dry flies in the summer, and streamers during the long, cold winters. The White is a perfect river to test your skills as an angler and learn new techniques along the way!
