This 1st 2 weeks of June is some of the best giant Silver King fishing of the year for this area and the world!

5 world record have been set in our area, and you could be next. Are you up for it? Give me a holler, and we'll hook ya up.

Trout are being very cooperative eating most anything in their path. The key to the most success of hookups is what i say "get down and dirty". Go with freelinning a jig and plastic to get down to near bottom staying just above the grass, and let them take your offering. With the lack of rain the water is real clear, keeping the fish spooky along with sunny days to avoid birds and other prey that keep the saying, "dog eat dog world" alive!. So, you have to get your offering close to their liar. Hey, they still have to eat, and we're just letting them exert less energy to oblidge.
