It has been a really busy month and time has slipped away. 6/28/2015

Time flies when you are busy and that we have been. We had the busiest June on record. Which is hard to believe with the amount of trips we do year after year. Our guide staff does everything to make you feel welcome and make sure your group is going to enjoy your trip. With a busy July schedule and very good fishing with big numbers of fish being caught. July looks to be another awesome month. Our guides are fishing a variety of areas. From South of Keiners bottom to White River. and from Kiowa to the Dam. Also catching great numbers of fish from the Joe Creek area to Lower Brule. Bottom Bouncers, Spinners and Crawlers have been best. On both reservoirs dong most of the fishing in less than 15 foot. On days with no wind, we have had to go deeper. Catching 50-100 plus fish per day, depending on area you are fishing and time on the water.

The main advantage of hiring us is that our guides work as one to make sure your day is successful. A huge advantage when we have the best fishermen in the Missouri River chain guiding for our service.
