Our History

Gaston's White River Resort began 61 years ago when Al Gaston, Jim Gaston's father, purchased 20 acres of White River frontage with six small cottages and six boats...the year was 1958. Present day, Jim’s grandson - Clint Gaston - will carry on the family legacy for many years to come. The resort now covers over 400 acres, and has 79 cottages ranging in size from two double beds to ten private bedrooms. The airstrip has grown from 1,800 feet to 3,200 feet. The six boats are now over 70, and with a state of the art dock to hold them all. The years have brought an award winning restaurant, private club, gift shop, tennis court, playground, game room, duck pond, three nature trails, swimming pool, conference lodge, and fly fishing school.

Check out the vibrant colors on this rainbow that Gary caught and released while fishing with Jarrod Ruggles!Beautiful colored up STUD Rainbow my friend Gary stuck ! What an awesome display this fish was wearing. We’re definitely in that transitional bite and have had to work a little harder at times for opportunities. But with that said, Caddis is RIGHT around the corner. Water temps will be slowly increasing and we will definitely start to see more bugs with every passing day. @gastonswhiteriverresort

Beautiful rainbow!!

But if you're a veteran and I mean for example combat veteran Marine Corps Army for example and who's history and sacrifice made it possible for businesses like this to make money off of veterans and others, believe this, this company who thanks Veterans for their service and celebrates Veterans Day and memorial Day, does not offer a legitimate veteran a discount. Am I missing something? How do I know? Cuz the manager told me so.

Craig’s day was off to a great start, but got exponentially better when he caught and released this stud brown while fishing with our guide, Ron Chaney.

The Norfork dam has all 8 flood gates open. The boat launch is closed from high water. I think Bull Shoals dam is running 6 generators. Great fishing around the eddies. Big Rainbows and Cutthroat nailing plugs near the bank. Great forecast this weekend.

There's a 15 pound Tiger that was taken by the dam. One bigger that never got to the boat. Plus Steelhead sized Rainbows. The big Browns get all the attention after being 5 percent of the roster.

Wishing I could afford this fishing trip some day

I agree completely for me even if it’s a record it’s only right to release and get a replica , Trout are really beautiful fish. I get so much enjoyment just seeing the beautiful colors , let’s keep it going to put a smile on someone else’s face . 😊

Frequently Asked Questions


The fishing is always good here. The White River stays the same temperature year-round and therefore the trout are always active. You should always be able to catch your limit. Also note that fly fishing is not the only way to fish here; over 85% of everyone that fishes here is spin fishing. You can produce excellent results fishing either way; the main thing is to have fun.
