The White River and the Norfork River should be your next destination for the fly fishing trip of a lifetime! On these tailwaters, almost anyone can go out and land a few fish on their own in low water conditons. But, taking full advantage of the White and Norfork's fluctuating water levels requires one key element: an experienced professional guide and boatman who has the patience, skill and knowledge to make your time on the water a success!
My name is Ron Yarborough and I productively guide over 65 miles of the White River below Bull Shoals Dam and all of the Norfork River for trout, along with over 40 miles of Crooked Creek for small mouth bass. Logging so many days on the river has left my computer skills a distant second! However, I've created this website with the hope that I can foster a love and appreciation for these beautiful rivers, as well as improve your knowledge and success in fly fishing here. As a continual work-in-progress, if you don't find the information you're looking for on my website, feel free to contact me anytime at ronflyfish@gmail.com or call (870) 688 -1755. Whether you're searching for a guide or want to tackle these rivers on your own, it would be my pleasure to steer you in the right direction. I look forward to your questions, comments and conversation. I love to talk fishing!!

White River fly fishing update
Feb.8 Another beautiful morning here in the Ozarks, with about 3 inches of snow on the ground. Looks like we've got plenty more snow coming today. Might want to check the weather report closely before heading to the river today!! I've got a good feeling this cold snap is going to push our shad kill over the edge!!
If the COE schedule is "accurate", look for 2 to 5 unit flows on the White River and 1 to 2 unit flows on the Norfork River today.
Today's forecast: Winter Storm Warning in effect until 6 am CST Tuesday... Snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches. Highs in the mid 30s. East winds 5 mph. The chance of precipitation near 100 percent. Snow in the evening...then snow likely after midnight. Snow accumulations 2 inches. Total snow accumulations 5 to 9 inches. Lows around 18. Northwest winds 5 mph in the evening... increasing to 10 to 15 mph after midnight. The chance of precipitation 90 percent.
