Early To Mid-October Trip...lodging?

[Morgan F.]

Hello Good Fishermen!

A buddy and I are looking to make a trip down early to mid-October over a weekend. Neither of us have been down for several years and are excited at fishing "new" waters again. We are obviously unfamiliar with the lodging situations at this point and wanted to get your input on where to stay.

We would like to fish both the White and the Norfolk, so we were thinking of staying in Mountain home to centralize our operations. We are willing to stay just about anywhere (doesn't need to be fancy). Motels are fine, but if you know of a great streamside location on either waterway...chime in...we are open to suggestions!

I dug around the "White" forum for a bit before writing this...didn't see much on the topic. I may just not know where to look...please redirect me if this is posted in another topic/thread.

Thanks in advance guys!

Tight Lines,

Morgan

Gene's trout dock is right on the Norfork River, south of Mountain Home. http://www.norfork.com/genes/ It's right on the river. If there is no generation, the Norfork is my favorite place to fish.

my friends at www.rileysstation.com are at buffalo city which means you could travel by boat to fish everywhere. Give them a call, they are great people.

Morgan:

Copper John's is on the White River has nice places/ cabins 20 feet from the river. By that time, you should be able to walk out your cabin and wade right in front of the resort. Ryan and Libby are great people, good prices too. The resort is between the State Park and Gaston's. Fly and tackle shop is at the entrance of the resort.

Morgan will you be wading or using a boat ?

We have a nice place right here in beautiful Downtown Norfork.

We plan to wade fish, but we understand that depending on the generation...we may need to look into a boat. We may do a guide trip for a day just to get the scoop as well. We half plan - half fly by the seat of our pants. If we plan to much...we just end up scrapping them anyway once we get where we are going and figure out what we REALLY need to be doing! It's an adventure!

Thanks again for all the info!

River Ridge Inn is my favorite. It is on the Norfork and has access to some water that doesn't get pounded quite as much.

Thank you, John Berry! I will certainly look into that as well.

Have a great fishing weekend everyone.
