The river is the whole point.
A small Ozark fly shop and guide service built around one of the most dependable trout fisheries in Arkansas.
Built around the Spring River.
Spring River Fly Co is a young operation set on the banks of the Spring River in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas. We started this with one idea: most people who book a fishing trip don't want a sales pitch — they want a guide who knows the water and a day that runs smoothly.
Our focus is keeping things simple and productive. We pair comfortable riverside lodging with a dedicated guide service, so you can roll out of bed, walk to the boat, and spend the day fishing instead of driving.
Spring-fed, year-round, dependable.
The Spring River is one of those rare Ozark fisheries you can plan around. The flow stays steady because it comes straight out of Mammoth Spring — one of the largest first-magnitude springs in the country — so the water is cold and clear in every season.
That matters more than it sounds. When the rest of the region is blown out or pulled low, we're still floating. Fall through spring is prime trout time. Summer brings smallmouth onto the warmer stretches. Pick a month and the river's fishing.

Time on the Water
We're not trying to be the biggest. We run a small operation so every trip gets a real guide, real instruction, and a real day on the river.
