Meet your guide, Rance Carter
Hi, my name is Rance Carter.
I’ve been fishing Beaver Lake Arkansas for over 30 years. I grew up in Northwest Arkansas; my family and I have lived here since the early eighties.
I started developing my fishing skills in McKissick Creek located in rural Benton County. This taught me how to read the waters and listen to the currents. I gained a deeper understanding of what the fish are looking for; where they like to hang out, what’s on their menu, and even the habits of the fish’s prey. This all comes into play when added to new waters.
For twenty years I’ve specialized in catching trout in Beaver Lake Tail-waters and the White River. Ten years ago, I expanded my brand and guide service to include multiple species including – walleye, trout, catfish, and crappie – just to name a few. All the while I learned the intimate secrets of all the surrounding smaller lakes; what kind of fish occupied them, what their diet consisted of, when and where they feed.

Because of my area familiarity, I also know the amenities associated with the local waters. This gives me insight into how to help my clients to be more at ease and provide them with creature comforts. Northwest Arkansas is my home water shed., We fish all of Northwest Arkansas including the small Municiple waters.
My goal is for you to come as a client and leave as a friend.
Some days will be better than others, it’s just the nature of the beast. When everything is perfect, we regularly limit out crappie, walleye, and trout. These species allow me to have target fish to pursue all year round with great success.
Let’s go get ‘em!
