It has begun

This is the earliest I have started fishing the river. Yesterday was the first float of the year and went off with a bang #gettheclicker The water temps were just under 50 a very slight stain with decent visibility. The normal spring fly selection all produced. This summer the Kankakee valley is predicted to be the epicenter of two massive brood cicada hatches that hasn’t happened in the last 100 years. My top water box can’t wait. If you want to get in this event do not wait to book your day. I have zero weekend availability until August already May and June are more than 3/4 full. This is going to be a great summer.

Winters almost over

Winters almost over, it definitely hasn’t been bad down here in Florida. The books are open for the smallmouth season on the Kankakee. If the weather stays on its warmer than normal path we should be floating down the river by the end of March. Get on the books while you can. Enjoy some recent fish porn (this could’ve been you)

It’s been a minute

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted a report. This has been a amazing season so far. Big fish, big number of fish, great top water eats, smashing streamer bite, we’ve had it all this year. Early summer started with extremely low and clear water and now with the mid summer rains and a good bump in the water we get to start everything all over again. Later summer is shaping up to be amazing. I’ve got some September dates open.

Early June report

I can’t remember a season that the river has been this low this early. Fishing the last few weeks has been better then good. Top water has been the best bite with a few secrets mixed in. Floating grass and vegetation has been getting to be a hassle but nothing to ruin the day. I have 2 open July dates, August and September are filling quickly.

My bad!

My bad, I’ve been slacking here. This spring has been tough. The weather has been all over the place causing this fish to be say to day at best. There was absolutely no pattern to follow. HOWEVER, the spawn is over fish are looking up already and fishing is great! I have a couple day open in June and a few more then a couple in July. Let’s fill that August and September calendar. Have a great holiday weekend.

Back from Florida

I’m back from my winter season in Florida and man was it a good one. The snook fishing was off of the charts, the weather was absolutely amazing, and red fishing offered their normal challenges.

It’s time to start thinking about fishing locally. I have about 2 weeks left available each month April, May, June, and July if you want a date do not wait. Shoot me a text or email soon.

Winter is almost over!

Winter is almost over, it’s time to starting thinking about spending warm spring and summer days lazily floating down one of the Midwest’s best rivers catching smallmouth. My calendar is open and I am taking bookings. On average I have about two weeks left of open dates every month until August don’t wait and expect you’ll get your desired date.

On a much warmer note my Florida season is amazing this winter. A ton of big fish have made it to the boat this year so far. If you’re interested in coming in 2024 shoot me a note and we’ll talk about the details.

Octobers finest

If you don’t have a date on the calendar you’re missing out! Fishing absolutely nuts right now. The bass have started to school and are working in wolf packs crushing bait! This is a streamer junkies wet dream. The kicker is how low and clear the river is absolutely incredible! I have some October and November dates available.
