We finally received some rain and we have water for now. The rains of that past couple weeks have brought the river up to over 1,000 cfs at Grand Forks and that is moving north. While it is still not a ton of water it is truly blessing for the fish to keep them going. […]

Due to the low water and condition of the fish I have decided to suspend guiding for the remainder of 2021 or until we get substantial rains to create some flow and get the fish feeding again. I don’t feel I can provide a true Red River experience at this time. This will best for […]

After attending the Cats Incredible tournament over the weekend, I am encouraged that we still have lots of fish to catch. There were many reports of good numbers of fish and a few big fish mixed in to boot. One thing stood out from most reports was that the fishing was much better early in […]

Sorry for the lack of reports. I just got done with basically a 40 day run. A lot has changed over the past few weeks. The water is getting scary low below the dams. I quit fishing north of Grand Forks about six weeks ago. South Grand Forks has lots of water but very little […]

Get ready for some catfish shock. The forecast is everything we don’t want. Nice stable comfortable weather right to nasty hot. Water temps will be rising very fast into the 70s and shocking the fish for a few days and then I suspect the spawn will be close behind. In the meantime get out and […]

It’s been a crazy week for sure. We were on the best fishing of the year the early part of the week in one section and mediocre fishing in another section. Finally some much needed rain made everything cold and miserable and a huge downpour flooded one trib and nearly knocked out Drayton. So right […]

The nights are still cold but we have gotten water temps to 55. Bigger fish are starting to show up and the forecast says warmer temperatures beginning today and on. This should kick everything into high gear and get the big fish feeding even harder. Stay Tuned it is about to get crazy. To book […]

The water temperature finally reached 50 last Friday and the bite started improve a little each day. Lots of picking and pecking have some good solid hits mixed in. The big fish are coming alive right now and it appears it will only get better from here. There really is no pattern as there are […]

The weather has shaped up and the water temps have finally crossed 50. I figure it will be a few more days to get the fish really moving but we are going in the right direction. I will be scouting all next week getting a feel for the fish and we will be starting up […]

Not much has changed since last week. Right now we are waiting on heat. We just can’t get out of this high 30s and 40 days to get the water temp into the 50s. Next weeks forecast looks much better and if it holds we should be ready to roll on time by May 7th […]
