Fishing & Activities


GUIDED FISHING trips are very special here at Cedarwood Lodge. Many of our guests use independent fishing guides that they have built relationships with over years of fishing on the White River. We do not want to interfere with that. For those guests just starting out or wanting a dependable referral, we can introduce you to some of the best independent fishing guides on the river – most with many years of White River experience. Here’s how it works – following our introduction to the guide of your choice (with expertise in spin fishing or fly fishing), you will make arrangements (day, time, pick-up point, etc.) directly with him/her – so, no middle man to create confusion or add-on fees. If you are interested in our assistance with arranging a guided fishing trip, just let us know at the time you book your lodging.
