Smith River Line Up

A little throw back photo to one of our favorite river floats in the country. May June and July are the peak times to be on this glorious slice of heaven. Although the fishing can be decent, the float and camping is shy you go, at least you should. Catching fish is only a bonus to the entire trip. No permit this year, but we will try again next year, maybe as a resident it will help. 

Our Little River

Our little river is starting it's slow transformation toward runoff. With recent releases from several of the reservoir upstream combined with increased native inflows from the various feeder creeks, 

Although still very fishable in many of the stretches it seems the fish and fishing is a bit off of it normal "good - excellent" status. Fish are being relocated daily to new holding water, Once soft seams are now fast or roiling waves. Baren shore line is now starting to get covered up, and will become the new summer holding water. This is always welcome sight, as the river needs a flushing 

of silt and mud .

Get you last week or so in, time to explore your favorite still water fisher, ( might consider hiring Larry Friedrich's with Arkanglers ) for some great fishing on Spinney Reservoir. 

or find a tailwater that is not too overly crowded.

Find Your Water - " Desert Oasis" by Redington

After watching this nice short by KGB Productions and Redington, We will be adding the 

Devils River to our list of destinations to visit and float. The ambience of the desert setting, emerald green waters and variety of fish how can you say no.

Redfish Banks

The winding marsh banks lead to endless miles of redfish habitat during the right tides.

Poling these banks offers hours of great opportunity for tailing and feeding fish.
