Introduction

Map To Linger's
Thank you for visiting my blog. I think one of the most exciting features of Linger's Guide Service is my audio blog. I use my cell phone to upload audio reports while fishing on the White River or turkey hunting with my guest. These are pretty neat reports because you can listen to up-to-date information on river conditions or field reports. Please contact me if you desire to book professional guide service by e-mail or visit my website listed under my Trout Fishing Links.

Water Levels Back To Normal

Water levels are back to normal and the color is good. It has been that way since Saturday with the fish hitting Rapalas and Power Baits pretty good. The White River Zig Jigs should kick in any day as the water has cleared and gotten lower.I caught this nice fish the day before the high water hit!

I took a few days off during the high water and went bow hunting with my friend Kenneth Giddens from Springfield....two turkeys, a deer and a Coyote later we had a good few days! Come enjoy the fun at LINGER'S GUIDE SERVICE & FISHING LODGE!!

A Personal Message:
WELCOME TO LINGER’S GUIDE SERVICE & FISHING LODGE A FIVE STAR FISHING EXPERIENCE My name is Jim Brentlinger, owner/operator of Linger’s Guide Service & Fishing Lodge in Norfork, Arkansas. I am a full time guide who has lived and guided here on the White & North Fork rivers since 1994. I began coming here with my family in 1959 and was eventually fortunate to move here after retirement and started guiding. Linger’s Giude Service & Fishing Lodge was started six years ago and it has turned out to be much more than we had ever dreamed. My heart has always been dedicated to fishing and hunting since childhood. Throughout my various careers I always made time for the outdoors and especially fishing. Owning and operating print advertising sales companies had its rewards for 24 years but I never lost my desire to be in the Ozarks and enjoy the fishing it had to offer. During those years one of my biggest accomplishments was to fish the professional bass fishing circuit and qualified in the top 30 in the nation twice. When you come to Linger’s Guide Service & Fishing Lodge you are treated in a professional manner by professional people and your total enjoyment is our #1 goal! We want you to have a good time so not only will you return to see us, which 82% of our customers have, but hopefully you will refer us to your friends, family and business associates. Our 6000 sq. ft. lodge sits 538 feet above the world famous White River and only a down stream a mile from the confluence of the White & North Fork rivers. The view from our 800 feet of covered deck is absolutely spectacular and accounts for many an hour of watching sunsets after a full day of fishing. The lodge is perfect for up to six singles or up to three couples. Our accommodations are definitely unmatched in the area and we are the only lodge that offers lodging complete with all meals. Being the outdoor person that you are you will enjoy the furnishings, the view and the atmosphere that exists here. The relaxed atmosphere combined with our professional approach to the guide service/lodge business makes us the finest facility on the White & North Fork rivers!! Lodging rates include breakfast & dinner, shore lunch each day is included in the fishing rates. Breakfasts consist of eggs(cooked various ways)bacon, ham, boudin, potato patties, toast, coffee and orange juice. Dinners are rib-eye steak, broasted chicken or grilled pork tenderloin with all the trimmings. Whit River trout fishing is one of the finest venues in the United States which is known by all who have ever traveled here. You can expect a daily catch of 40 to 50 trout and most all of the fish are caught on artificial bait. All you have to do is show up at Linger’s Guide Service. We furnish rods, reels, bait, lures, shuttle service to and from the river, soft drinks, bottled water, fish cleaning, packaging and all the ice you need during your stay. When you fish multiple days you will be taken to various parts of the river so you get to see remarkable scenery and different parts of the river. At least one day that you are here we offer a COMPLETE shore lunch on the river. Lunch consists of fried trout fillets, fried potatoes with onions, special “River Beans”, cole slaw and cookies for dessert. After this meal you will certainly enjoy your trip back up the river and look forward to that evening on the deck overlooking the White River! Coffee is ready at 6:00 a.m. each day. Breakfast is ready to be served after 6:30 a.m. We need to leave for the river by 7:45 a.m. and in the water by 8:00 a.m. We stop at 11:30 a.m. to prepare your shore lunch and are back at the lodge no later than 4 p. m. Dinner is served by 7 p.m. each evening. FISHING is the same here all year round due to the fact that all our water is hydro electric discharge from Bull Shoals & Norfork Lakes. No matter what the air temperature, the water temperature stays the same all year due to the daily generation from the dams. The only decision you have to make is what type of weather you like to be out fishing in as the trout will bite the same 365 days a year. Please go to our WEB PAGE….www.lingersguideservice.com to see further information. When on the web page please click on Linger’s Daily Audio Fishing Report(or just click on BLOG down the left margin). That will take you to my BLOG SITE. There you will find numerous text stories, audio fishing reports and a host of photo albums and other related information. Thank You for taking a few minutes to let us tell you what/who we are and what we have to offer!

Good Four Days

It has been a good four days of fishing.....this brown came yesterday morning and was taken on a 1/8th White River Zig Jig. The area to fish and the technique makes all the difference between catching them and not catching them.

BEGINNERS LUCK????

Attack of the Buckeye Boys

Four days with the Buckeye Boys.

White River Friends

This is what it's all about, friends, good fishing and a beautiful day on the White River. These folks had a great time for a three day trip on the river.

BIG Catches on the White River

Great fun and great catches on the White River!

Flood

This is just a sampling of what is going on here.....the flood today is more than the flood that made the national news 2 weeks ago....not only have we had a flood but they turned on ALL 12 of the flood gates on the Norfork River. Rainbow trout dock floated by my lodge 2 hours ago....Genes trout dock is barely attached to the bank and just about to go!! PLUS they have all 8 generators on at Bull Shoals.....that water is not here yet and the Buffalo River won't crest here until tomorrow!!

9 Browns

Happy Customers

In Arkansas, leaves normally start to change color at the beginning of October when the temperature starts to drop. The most brilliant colors can be found later in the season, at the beginning of November. As you can see from these photographs, this year's seasonal peak colors are late. Which might "leave" (pun intended) us to see more colors later this month. Come find out! This is an exciting moment on the White River. Early starts in the morning are breathtaking. In between catches, quick thoughts of "reeling in the big one" flash through your mind. "Maybe this cast," you think . . . one never knows. Let Linger's Guide Service be the professional service you have dreamed of . . . happy customers make my day! In this album is a photograph during a recent turkey hunt. Linger's Guide Service is always ready to take you hunting. Be sure and email me for information on hunting guides. Join Jim "Linger" on the White, you won't forget it!

A Day Nick Will Remember!

Nick caught these really nice trout on his fly rod using scuds.

Dallas Stars

What a great bunch of guys from the Dallas Texas area.....they come twice a year and are some of the nicest guys you will ever meet!

Linger's Photos

It's hard to tell someone about the great excitement and adventure that one will have on the White River. These photographs are just a glimpse of what you will experience as you cast your line to catch a beautiful rainbow or fighting brown trout.

Pheasants & Bison On The White River

What started out as a routine guide trip on the White River turned out to be a most enjoyable learning experience for me. Joe Somers of Heartwood Log Homes in Ozark, Missouri was my customer and along with him he brought two more folks with him. Marshall Springer and his son Dillion.
