Meet Our Spin & Bait Fishing Guides
Carl Jones | Pete Cobb | Rex Curly | Micheal Osborn | Donald Cranor | Larry McNair | Tim Curtis
A full day guided trout spin fishing trip begins at 7:30a.m. when your guide meets you
at a previously agreed upon location. You'll fish until 3:30p.m. Lunch can be either a box
lunch eaten while you continue to fish, or a cooked shore lunch lasting about one hour.
When you meet with your guide in the morning he'll discuss with you what type of trout
fishing action you prefer: 1.) Catching a lot of smaller trout; or 2.) Fishing for trophy
trout. When fishing for smaller trout you'll catch anywhere from 25 to 50 rainbows from 11
to 14 inches long. You will enjoy catching a lot more trout than when trophy fishing, but
the fish will be smaller. Some guests also want to fish the more scenic parts of the
river. If you aren't sure where or how you want to fish, your guide will explain your
options.
When trophy trout fishing you'll catch fewer but much larger trout. Any trout weighing
four pounds or more is considered a trophy trout. You might catch only one or two fish all
day, or you may catch 5 or 6. You may fish for hours without a bite. You may also catch
trout weighing 6 to 12 pounds, or even more. Collectively Pro Staff guides have caught
hundreds of trout weighing over 10 pounds each, 44 trout weighing over 20 pounds each, and
4 trout weighing over 30 pounds each. Pro Staff guides are highly qualified to help you
catch your dream trophy trout!
Regardless of where and how you want to fish, we provide rods, reels, lines, lures,
baits, nets, soft drinks, water, and anything else needed except your fishing license and
trout permit. We have the right line size, right line color, and right rod action. If
fresh live bait is to be used (worms, night crawlers, crawdads, minnows) it is normally
caught by your guide prior to your trip. We provide artificial lures at no extra charge.
If you prefer to bring your own tackle we recommend light action rods with 4 to 6 pound
test line. Line color is very important. Use green, fluorocarbon, or clear line only. Blue
lines do not work!
