Dear Fellow Angler,

As the water drops, warms up, and clears, the fishing has really picked up! The popper fishing has improved every day this week, and the streamer fishing has too. With all of the high water, June was a tough month for smallmouth bass, but the last few days have been exactly what they should be this time of year. It has been easy fishing for feisty fish!

I still have some great dates open in July, and August is pretty open as well. From here on out, we will normally concentrate on popper fishing on the St. Joe River. Pike fishing on the smaller rivers is always an option too, because they stay colder than the St. Joe.

Speaking of other fish, our fall steelhead and salmon dates are starting to fill up. November, in particular, is getting tight. If you want a fall date, it definitely isn't too early to book.

Have a great day, and I hope to see you on the river soon!

There isn't anything quite like watching kids enjoy the river. Zayden and Lincoln enjoyed every aspect of being out on the water. They saw eagles, Osprey, muskrats, and all sorts of other wildlife. Oh, and they saw some fish too! These two are welcome back in my boat anytime!

What's not to love about toothy fish crushing flies on a beautiful river?

It's always cool to hear that someone catches their personal best with us. The smallmouth fishing has been very good and a personal best was put in the boat!
