Wild trout retreat on the Ozarks’ wild North Fork River

Trout Lodge Guest House
We have recently opened our new guest house located on our riverfront property on the North Fork of the White River in southern MO. The North Fork, as it is locally known, is the premier freestone wild rainbow trout fishery between the Appalachians and the Rockies, rivaling many anywhere else in the country. The rainbows are a well-adapted strain descended from the McCloud River rainbow strain originally stocked in the clear cold fast spring fed waters of the river in the late 1800s. Rainbows were last stocked in 1964, and have maintained a thriving, self-sustaining population since then. Rainbows from young of the year to 20” or larger are commonly caught. The MO Dept of Conservation also stocks brown trout that while spawning too early to maintain a significant stream-bred population, grow to trophy proportions in the favorable environment of the river. Browns from 17-23” are common, and individuals up to 35” or larger are caught by experienced anglers. Both fly and spin fishing are successful techniques for both rainbows and browns. A list of local guides for the river can be provided.

But trout fishing is not the only activity visitors enjoy on the North Fork. In the spring walleye, stripers, hybrids and white bass from Lake Norfork downstream make their annual spawning run up the North Fork providing great sport fishing. The spring striper run is one of the finest river striper fly fishing opportunities in the country. The upper stretches of the river provide an outstanding fishery for native smallmouth bass. In the spring, summer and fall, the North Fork’s numerous sporty fast shoals provide outstanding canoeing, kayaking and rafting opportunities.

We provide direct river access at our landing behind the main house for wading, canoes, kayaks, inflatables, etc. We cannot handle trailered boats, but will direct you to those locations that can. Access is limited on the river as many areas are private and canoe and kayak outfitters are limiting use of their landings. We will provide contact information for the liveries operating on the river.

The guest house is well-equipped for a few days or a week or two, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, comfortable plush furniture, full kitchen, washer and dryer, covered porch with outdoor table and chairs, Weber grill, rod or gun rack (deer and turkey hunters also welcome), wader hangers, and wader donning and doffing bench. Big screen TV, DVD/Blueray with WiFi connectivity for hot spot or Fire TV Stick, Sirius XM radio and bedside tables with device charging ports are provided.

Awesome get away with welcoming host!
Family booked this cabin for a long weekend. The accommodations were very nice. The porch was lovely for having morning coffee and spending the day when not on the water with the family. Randy and his wife are some of the nicest people you will ever meet and made our stay very enjoyable as we felt welcomed on their property. Defiantly will be making the trip back in the future.

The house was absolutely perfect. The cleanest VRBO I have stayed in. large, spacious, and new. The hosts are awesome people and very easy to work with. This is about a mile from Dawt Mill and 30 minutes from Rockbridge. So it was a great location for us. I highly recommend.

Great spot on the River!
My family and friends stayed at the house for 3 nights during the 4th of July holiday. Randy came down to greet us after we arrived; he was very kind and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure that we had everything we needed plus extras! The house was clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. The master shower is awesome! Having the washer and dryer was very convenient after playing in the river because we didn't have to pack wet (or dirty) swimsuits. We will definitely stay again! Thanks Randy!!

The Trout Lodge Guest House Was Perfect
From the planning stage to after we checked out, Randy and his wife Pat (the owners) were very friendly and communicative. Right after booking the Trout Lodge guest house, Randy sent a document with very helpful information about the surrounding area that helped me get canoes rented, meals planned at nearby restaurants, and directions to everything. After my friends and I arrived, we were so pleased with the Trout Lodge Guest House - everything was just like in the listing- maybe even better. Randy and Pat catered to our every need without ever interrupting our much needed friend time. Anytime we weren’t feeding our faces we were on the river enjoying a land almost untouched by time. Thanks Randy and Pat for sharing your little piece of Heaven with us. We will definitely book again. - Shelby, Loren, Anna, Jaqui, Michael, and April.

Peaceful Retreat Near River
We had a very nice stay at this property. Randy & Pat were some of the most accommodating and helpful hosts that we’ve ever had! Their property is gorgeous and we appreciate them welcoming us. The cabin was clean and fully stocked with necessities and more! We enjoyed the complimentary wine on the patio and used the grill & fire pit. The only thing we would have preferred is that the grass around the cabin had been mowed. It was tall and overgrown around the fire pit area, which didn’t prevent us from using but would have been nice to have cut. The water was running fast and high during our stay so fishing wasn’t very good in the area. This was unfortunate but uncontrollable due to recent rainfall. On our last day we drove up to Rockbridge Trout Resort and we’re able to catch Rainbows all day from the spring. Overall, we would highly recommend Pat & Randy’s cabin for anyone looking to get away and get lost in the peace & quite of the Ozark Mountains. Thanks again for an amazing stay!!

Trout Guest House at Beautiful Location
Me and my friends were looking for a place away from the city and people due to the global pandemic and safety reasons. This place fulfilled all our needs. We spent amazing three nights at the Trout Guest house.The Guest House was very clean and well-furnished. We were a group of 4 people. The rooms were spacious and we also had kitchen utensils to cook and prepare our own meal. The owner allowed us to use their patio in front of the river. Randy and Pat were very friendly and helping. They provided us with detailed information about the things which we could explore nearby. I would really recommend this Guest House. Thanks
