Yellow Dog Introduces New Southern Trout Programs

We're thrilled to announce the addition of Arkansas and Tennessee to our freshwater fishing program. Both states offer exceptional trout fishing experiences on world-renowned streams such as the South Holston and White Rivers. Currently, we are working with a single operation on the banks of the South Holston River in Tennessee, and two operations on the White River in Arkansas.

ARKANSAS White River Inn - Located in Cotter, Arkansas the White River Inn offers all-inclusive, luxury accommodations on the banks of one of the South’s premier blue ribbon trout rivers. The lodge welcomes anglers from all over the world to experience trophy trout fishing on the White River in a laid-back atmosphere. Arkansas’ White River is fabled in many fly fishing circles. It continuously produces some of America’s largest brown trout on the fly in a fishery that is accessible year-round.
