Fishing at River Ridge Inn

Let River Ridge Inn be your gateway for world-class trout fishing on the renowned Norfork and White Rivers. Located steps from the riverbank with private walk-in access and a private dock, our property offers unmatched convenience for anglers of all skill levels. The Norfork and White Rivers are world-class trout fisheries, containing all four trout species—Rainbows, Browns, Cutthroat, and Brook Trout- making it a prime destination for those seeking a Grand Slam.

Thanks to cold water releases from Norfork Dam, fishing stays excellent year-round. We are a short float to the confluence of the Norfork and the White; our location allows you to explore two premier trout streams in just one trip. If you prefer to spin cast or bait fish from the bank, staying at River Ridge Inn gives you easy access to its private fishing dock with a picnic table. If you prefer to fly fish, access from River Ridge Inn is unmatched. Directly in front of the property is an island that holds trout in both branches.  Their convergence results in a great run, also easily accessed from the property.  Whether you're fly fishing or spin/bait casting, there are excellent wading opportunities upstream all the way up to Ackerman’s Access for all guests to use.

At River Ridge Inn, in addition to the plentiful do-it-yourself opportunities to fish for trout, there are several guides in our network that we can connect you with for an exciting fishing adventure on a world-class fishery.  After a day on the water, unwind in the comfort of our cozy cabins and take in the serene beauty of the Ozarks. At River Ridge Inn, your next great fishing story awaits.
