Built around the river, not a generic charter formula.
The experience
When the sun drops, the river changes.
Night fishing is the specialty here. Trips are built around White River conditions, trophy brown trout behavior, and a boat set up specifically for low-light fishing.
Step aboard and start fishing. Tackle and lures are provided, including ultralight spinning setups and a deep selection of hard baits chosen for the conditions.
Purpose-built platform
Stable, spacious and outfitted for night operation.
Conditions first
Every trip is shaped around water, weather and the fish.
Fish responsibly
Trophy catches are documented and released with care.
Own the night
Big water. Low light. A completely different kind of trip.
The White River demands respect, especially after dark. Changing water levels, strong currents and low visibility make preparation essential. Our boat is equipped for nighttime navigation, with GPS mapping and safety gear aboard so the focus can stay on the next cast.
A certified nurse practitioner on board.
We have a certified nurse practitioner aboard to help keep your trip as safe as possible, alongside our licensed and insured guides.

Gordon + Lori
Your guides
Two anglers who built their lives around the White.
Gordon and Lori Walters first fell for trophy brown trout from kayaks more than a decade ago. That obsession grew into a guide service centered on the river, the fish and the people who come aboard.
Known to many as #StickBaitGordon and #BigBrownsBarbie, they want a trip to feel personal rather than transactional: learn something, fish hard, stay safe and leave with a story worth retelling.
“We want our clients to feel like family.”
