Great day on the Norfork with Steve. Lots of fish caught from a drift boat paddled by Steve, who’s knowledge of the river and where the fish are was incredible. Beautiful day with hardly anybody else seen on the river. We’ll be back next year hopefully with Steve again. A real memorable day with a great guide.

Today was a good yet frustrating day at Wildcat. I was being completely mauled by a new fly rod I picked up,no distance, just a wad of clumped up fly line floating down the river. I was at the point of giving it away or just stuffing it in a trash can, when a sweet lady that was also fly fishing said I should stop and talk to someone, so I did. I stopped at Dallys, wept and whined about hating this rod, and he immediately took myself outside with the rod and simply explained the difference from what I'm used to, and started slinging out perfect beautiful cast. Handing the rod to me ended up with the first attempt wound around my head like a straw hat. After a nice relaxing chuckle he explained exactly what I was doing wrong and the next few cast were almost as good as his. YES I said almost!!!!! But that's why they are the pros and even with over 10 years experience fly fishing, I realized I am still the grasshopper. Thank you!

Had a magical day on the water. A little hot, but fishing was amazing. Ten stars for our guide, Adrian, who was fantastic. Great personality, put us on fish, and was as cool as a cucumber. We’ll be back. Would recommend asking for Adrian.

Met Tadd yesterday and was very pleased with him and the store. My husband and his fishing buddy had a night guided trip tonight and that guide cancelled at the last minute. Tadd was called and in 10 minutes set up another guide for the fellas. Thank you Tadd! You are my hero.

Our family took a vacation to the Bull Shoals/White River last week, and the owner of our VRBO recommended stopping here for some local advice. The fly shop is well stocked and the employee we visited with was very knowledgeable. The next day, I caught a 26” brown trout and my brother caught a 21” brown trout, each using a red hopper pattern, which is what y’all recommended. We plan to visit the area again, and will definitely stop by the shop when we do. Thanks!

While on a vacation to the Cotter area to fish the White River, I decided to get a guide from Dally's for a day on the river. I've been a very satisfied Dally's customer for years, but I had never had an occasion to hire a guide from Dally's as I was always fishing with a large group of friends. My visit last week allowed me to spend a day on the river with Chad, who I would rate as a top guide, not just in the Cotter area, but in all of the locations I've fished in the US.My reason for hiring a guide service was that I wanted to fish for brown's, so I was willing to take the chance of catching nothing as opposed to catching a lot of rainbow. Having talked with Chad many times over the years I've visited Dally's, he was my first choice by a long shot. After discussing my desire for brown trout, we decided on the day and location for our float. I mention this as Chad's significant knowledge of the river allowed us to tailor the trip to be what I wanted, as opposed to simply floating the river the way hundreds of other guides do for their clients each day.Chad had everything prepared for a day on the river when we met at the boat launch, so we were quickly on the river. Chad brought along his dog on the boat, who was a better companion on the trip than many of the guides I've hired over the years. He (Chad, not his dog) had us quickly on browns, so it was up to me to get my fly where Chad directed. I wish I could say that my casting was perfect throughout the day, but I did catch a few branches and logs, however, Chad took it all in stride, got me free, and got us back on course. The day was productive and exceeded my expectations, but that was mostly due to Chad just being a great guide.I highly recommend Dally's for a fly fishing guide, and I highly recommend Chad. If you're going to be in a boat with someone for the entire day, make sure they're patient, friendly and a good fly fishing coach, which you have with Chad.

We have gotten our son fully outfitted for his new adventure in fly fishing. He just turned 11 and is thrilled with learning how to tie flies and all things fly fishing! He has thoroughly enjoyed coming in and shopping and all the advice and words of wisdom he has already received. Highly recommend! The “Dude” at checkout is knowledgeable and kind.

Streamer fished with Steve this past weekend. It is our second guide trip with Steve and it was awesome! It was cold real cold the two days we fished. But He worked hard and put us on fish. I will definitely be back.
