A Discussion on the Past, Present, and Future of Fishing the White River

​Dave Capps is one of the most respected guides on the White River. He is the owner of the Fisherman’s Lodge located on Denton Ferry Road.


Dave’s guiding days started in 1978 when he was asked by the then owners of the Cotter trout dock if he could guide some clients, he was at the time 15 years old. He then guided for other trout docks including Stetsons and Gastons, before he chose to become independent and start his Capps Guide Service that accommodates for all methods of fishing, be that bait, spin, or fly.


Dave will talk about how guides back in the past collected natural bait from the river, digging the banks for worms, collecting sculpins and crawdads. Well before the days of power bait and synthetic substances. How in the past they floated the river before the days of min flow. How the river has changed and what will the future be.


We will have the opportunity to ask Dave questions at the meeting. Davy Wotton who knows Dave personally says, “he is an interesting man to talk with about history fishing the White and Norfork rivers.”


Everyone is encouraged to arrive by 5:00pm to order dinner and socialize!
