White River Fly Fishing Outfitter

A product of the Ozark Mountains, Al was born and raised in Harrison, Arkansas. He grew up on the banks of Crooked Creek and the Buffalo River. In his teenage years he was avid with sports and fishing spin tackle for smallmouth bass. After finding his first fly reel in an older house his parents bought, he soon bought a rod to pair it with and dove into fly fishing. Al attended the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville and started a career in sales after. He spent most weekends fishing or camping which worked his way into the guide world. He truly loves this area and showing off the beautiful fishery’s we have in this area. He decided that after eight years of corporate sales moving back home and chasing his passion was his true desire. Al is a gear guy and loves the preparation it takes to make a successful day out. Whether the first one on the water, or the last one at the ramp, he enjoys the grind. He is most certainly a streamer junkie, but is a kid in a candy store when the bugs start to hatch. Being an avid fly tier, expect to use plenty of Al tied flies when you fish with him!
