It is February 1st and feels more like April 1st with temps in the high 30s and 40s. This gets me in the mood for some summer fishing. It appears we are going to have an early spring with low water unless things change. We are taking bookings beginning May 12th Call or email for […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2024 is here. We have not had much winter so far which leads me to believe we may get a low water year. I have said that before and it is only January so things can change. This means will might get started a little earlier than normal. Weekends are booking at […]

Winter is showing its face today. The catfish season came to an abrupt halt a couple weeks back with a pretty harsh cold snap but all in all it has been a nice fall. In the end we had one of the most successful seasons ever in our 16 years and 2024 looks to be […]

The past week has been really good for numbers and even some more big fish are showing up. The pattern has not changed all that much in terms of locations with fish still mostly right down the middle of the river. What has changed is we are back to the long sits again. The past […]
My what a difference a couple weeks can make. I was gone on a family vacation last week but now am back and have been on the river for a week. The pattern is still similar fishing right down the middle of the river but it seems the bigger fish are liking a little deeper […]
I hate short bites! It seems the big fish are nearing the end of the spawn but not quite and they will hit the baits but not take the whole hook. Solution, get a bigger hook and thread the bait up onto the shank to make them take it. I am seeing post spawn female […]
