Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Walleye, Yellow Perch, Smallmouth Bass, and more can be targeted, depending on conditions. You can troll or cast using light tackle for these species. You can even take home some of the fish you catch, within the legal limit, and nearby fish cleaning services are available for an extra fee. While your fish are being cleaned, our dock is conveniently located near two excellent waterside restaurants.

Enjoy your fishing adventure on our 30' Tiara fishing boat, which can accommodate up to 6 passengers.

It's powered by twin 383 strokers and comes with essential amenities, including a private toilet. We provide rods, reels, tackle, and lures.

A First Mate will be there to assist you in finding the best fishing spots and maximizing your trip. Tipping the First Mate is customary and typically ranges from 10% to 20%. Please note that some fish species may have specific regulations or limited seasons, so it's recommended to inquire with the captain if you have any concerns.
