Fishing on Your Own

White Hole Resort Owner Morgan Short

Prefer to do things your own way? You’ve got options.

Some of the most productive trout water on the White River runs directly in front of our property. With 400 feet of accessible river frontage, plus the White Hole Public Access immediately next door, you can fish successfully without ever stepping into a boat.

You’re also welcome to bring your own flat-bottom or shallow-running boat. The White Hole Public Access boat ramp sits immediately next to our property for convenient launching.

Ways to Fish the White

Wading

When the river is at minimum flow, the gravel bar and shallows just above our dock become excellent wading water for both spin and fly anglers.

The gravel bar stretches several hundred feet, with a defined channel running along the far side. Fish commonly hold in that deeper channel.

Waders are recommended year-round. The water remains cold, even in summer.

Important: River levels can change quickly depending on dam generation. Always stay alert to rising water.

Bank Fishing

If wading isn’t ideal, or water levels are higher, bank fishing can be just as productive.

Our property offers approximately 400 feet of open river frontage, and the public access next door provides an additional 300 feet of fishable bank.

Many guests bring chairs, set up comfortably, and fish from shore for hours. It’s a relaxed and effective way to spend the day on the river.

Bringing Your Own Boat

You’re welcome to bring a flat-bottom or shallow-running boat. The White Hole Public Access boat ramp sits immediately next to our property for convenient launching.

Keep in mind that during minimum flow, navigation is limited to the immediate area and roughly two miles downstream. When the water is higher, significantly more of the river becomes navigable.

Shallow-running boats are strongly recommended due to the variable water depth.
