Testimonials |
"I would like to take this time to
"Thank you" for guiding myself and Tammy on the best trout trip I have ever been
on, this past July. This is a very strong statement from a guy that has fished Tanycomo
for 19 years then the White River for the last 7 years, never catching the size and
numbers of browns over 3 lbs in a two day period. Of course the two big fish, 4.15 lbs and
5.1 lbs, were caught by my finance, which she is a little hard to live with, since our
return home. Your knowledge of the river and fishing techniques for big browns was very
impressive. You made a point to teach us these techniques and let Tammy and I do the
fishing. Also, the sighting of an Eagle in a tree not 75 feet from us was a once in a life
time event. I am so glade I met you at the car wash in Gassville in 2005, while on the
guy’s annual trout trip and then again at your booth in the 2006 St. Louis Boat Show.
I will definitely be making more trips to fish with you and do highly recommend your
services to anyone that wants the chance to catch big browns and experience the time of
their life on the White River."

"The trip with my boys was fantastic. Four
browns 5-7 pounds in one day. and more the next. I was extremely pleased not only with
your skill in locating and knowing the right bait, but also in your ability to
"coach" three novice fishermen well enough for us to actually land the fish in
the boat. As they get older, the opportunity for times like this get less and less. Thanks
for memories that will never fade. We will be back!"

"I was telling someone just today about our
trip to Cotter and the White River and how much fun Will and I had trout fishing with you
last summer. Catching a 5 pound plus Brown is the high point in Will's young fishing
career. We plan to come back this winter to fish with you. I will contact you as soon as I
can schedule time off from work at a time when Will is out of school. Look forward to
seeing you again."

"Herb & I had a wonderful three days of
fishing with you as our guide. It was a fish filled trip (for sure!!) and your personality
and wit just topped off the trip. I came home and called my best friend and told her to
call you for a guided trip. She lives to fish. As you know they came down and brought
another couple which had never been fishing. Both couples really enjoyed your guide
services. Thank you Don and hope to see you again next year."

"At noon we were treated to one of the
best shore lunches a person could ever ask for. Donald’s fried trout and his special
hush puppies along with all the goodies, still leaves my mouth watering. After a short
break we were back on the river catching trout . At the end of our day we caught and
released over 75 trout. Just think, if I would have started the day doing what Donald
suggested, I think we could have topped 100. If you want to catch lots of trout sitting in
a comfortable chair with beautiful scenery and a top notch guide who wants you to catch
fish and enjoy yourself, then I would highly recommend Cranor’s Guide Service. I am
looking forward to my next trip in January along with that fried trout and hush
puppies."

"I thought I knew something about trout
fishing until I went with Donald . Now when I want to catch a real trout I call
Donald!"

"I have been fishing with Don for 2 years
and he continues to exceed my best expectations. I knew the White River held many big
fish, but had no idea we would be able to catch and release so many trophy class trout.
Don is the guide you hope for, he works hard, he knows the river and he can put you the
big ones, but most of all he just loves to fish. My trip with Don has already been booked
for next year. Hopefully, we will beat the 11 lbs 11 ounce Brown we caught and released
last year."

"I just want to thank you for the
experience my wife Stacey and I had last weekend. We had a great time fishing and it was
all made possible by your expertise and knowledge of trout fishing. You asked us if we
wanted to catch a lot of fish or a trophy fish. I had no idea that when I said a lot of
fish, you really meant it. We caught so many fish, including the 5 lb. 7 oz. that was the
highlight of the day, we were wore out by the end of the day. You have a great demeaner,
your quick witted and made the day more enjoyable than just fishing alone. I will
recommend you to all my friends. Thanks again for the experience.
I was wondering if you could email me some of the pictures you took of us. They will be
great to show off to my friends and family. Thanks a bunch!

"I have fished with guides all over the
United States, and I put Donny Cranor up there with the best. I would not hesitate to send
a novice or an expert with him as he will handle them accordingly. Donny doesn't
"take you fishing", he asks what fishing experience you want to have, then does
his best to see that you have it. He is a man of patience, persistence, and
integrity."

"Donald Cranor is the best and safest trout
fishing guide in the Mountain Home area. Betty and I have fished with Donald for several
years. As the old saying goes, "you gotta know the territory" fits him to a
"T". Largest trout caught was 14 pounds."

| "Thanks for emailing photos of the nice
brown trout Elaine and I caught while fishing with you. Although we had fished with you
for a half dozen years, this was the first time we had fished for trophy brown trout. We
found the more relaxed pace of that type of fishing a pleasant change from the previous
day when we were catching rainbows one after the other until our arms got tired. You have us convinced that you could catch fish in a bathtub with a bare
hook! If someone ever asks you for a reference, put my name at the top of the list. we
look forward to fishing with you again next month!"

"If the fish are biting, Don will catch
them! Don has the experience, patience, bait resources, and will use them to the fullest
to make sure his customers catch fish, and enjoy their fishing adventure with him. Don
takes his job seriously! His reputation depends solely on the number and size of the fish
his customers catch. You will not find a guide that will work harder to ensure that you
will enjoy your day, and feel like your money was well spent. Then convenience of being
picked up in the morning, having lunch and drinks provided, and being dropped off at the
end of the day is an added bonus. Donald Cranor does more than talk . . . he produces!
Thanks for all of the big fish and fun times Don!"

"During our two day trip with Donald my
fishing buddy and I caught and released brown trout from 5.6 pounds to 6.8 pounds. Smaller
browns and rainbows were quite numerous. As a serious fisherman with several decades of
experience I feel qualified to make a recommendation for a great trout fishing trip. Go
with Cranor's. Donny has many years of experience floating and fishing the White and North
Fork rivers. His equipment is clean, safe, and top notch!"
