Meet Jon Miller
Jon Miller is a professional trout fishing guide who, among his peers, is
considered one of the top trout fishing guides on the White river. He has over 20 years of
experience fishing the tailwaters of the White and North Fork Rivers. Jon is respected as a big trout guide. He was given the
Master Angler Award by In Fisherman magazine for the catch and release of a 33-inch German
Brown trout. During trout fishing tournaments he finishes in the money. Jon offers
guided fishing trips with artificial, light tackle, bait, or fly fishing, in short any
legal method! It's your choice.See Jon Miller's Trout Fishing Photos

Fish Low And High
Waters
Jon fishes the upper and lower White River and the North Fork river. He puts in
where fishing will be best that day for his customer's desired fishing experience. Jon
knows these rivers have rapidly changing water levels that can affect how a boat must be
handled. When high water conditions occur, swift currents must be handled with skill. Low
water conditions need a watchful eye to dodge rocks and other snags. While customers are
fighting fish a good guide will keep your boat properly positioned, especially in strong
currents. Jon does not fish, he handles the boat and attends to customer needs.
Top-Notch Equipment
Jon's Guide Service has an excellent combination of equipment
tailored to give you a fishing trip you'll remember for a lifetime! All boats and
equipment are modern, clean, and in good repair. When you fish with Jon personally, you'll
fish from a 2000 model Supreme Jon Boat with an aerated livewell. This popular Supreme
model is engineered and designed specifically for tailwater trout fishing. Removable
swivel seats make it easier to walk through the boat. Jon rigs all fishers in his boat
with quality Shimano reels and G-Loomis rods, which is about $500 per person for rod and
reels.
Shore Lunches
Fried onions and potatoes, private recipe river beans, bacon sandwiches, trout fried in
bacon fat, and soda - that's what's cookin' at Jon's! At noon we'll pull up on the
bank for a rest and a good old-fashioned river shore lunch put on in grand White River
tradition. All you need do is pull up a chair and relax while we do the work. The pleasure
is all ours!

Children Welcome
It's remarkable how quickly children learn to trout fish. Jon taught his own daughter
Kelly how to fly cast. Kelly now wades about the river casting and catching trout like a
pro! Jon enjoys families with kids and always welcomes the opportunity to educate children
on the finer points of trout fishing. So, if you
would like to include children in your float trip experience, they are most welcome!
Groups
Jon's has conducted group guided float trips for
many years. We understand how to coordinate the numerous little details needed for a
smooth group trip. We provide tackle, shore lunches, transportation, and guides in our
group plans. We have found over the years that the best way to plan a great group trip
experience is for you to just call us. Tell us what you'd like to experience. Once we know
your needs we'll put together a trip customized just for you. If it takes more than one
call, that's fine! We'll help you as much as you require in organizing your trips. At end
of day you'll discover you'll get more for your money with Jon's!
Safety
Safety is always the top priority with Jon's. Safe casting, proper
river navigation, weather considerations, and proper river wading technique are all part
of the many aspects of making your trip a safe and comfortable experience. We are insured
and licensed. Jon practices a professional code
of ethics which he believes best preserves the fishery and the fishing experience.
