Anglers Report


2008 was an awesome year for our fishery. We had no extremes, no floods, no droughts, no massive man made accidents. Also urban development slowed, so we had clearer water as a result of less silt run off, nice strong levels, without sudden jumps. All of which had a direct result in developing a stocky healthier core group of fish. Our guide business did more trips than ever before and we landed trophy fish of 18” or more on almost every trip.


Now 2009 should prove to even be better since those big footballs are having a mild winter. As of mid-February the river only froze solid once. We did have a few days of melting ice dams which could scour the weeds from the shallows, but that helps to keep the hydrillia down. Six more weeks of winter so fishing is just around the corner. Our guide calendar is filling up quickly remember most of the big 20” plus fish came early September.

Looking forward to fishing with you, Bryan
