I have been a fishing guide on Lake Conroe since 1997, fishing for all types of fish from Catfish. Crappie, Black Bass, and Hybrid Stripers.  For several years now the Hybrid Striper population has been great on Lake Conroe and I'm doing my best to catch them all!  I have caught thousands of them and hope to catch at least a million or more before I get to old.  I take all age and experience levels for a great day of fishing. 

Offering half and full day fishing trips for the diehard fisherman or the family wanting to get out for a few hours to break the routine and show the kids how to fish for the first time.

Experience the best of the Texas hill country. Guided fly fishing trips for all skill levels. Take advantage of my  20+ years of Texas fly fishing experience. We will fish for bass on spring fed hill country rivers or fish for trout in the southernmost trout stream in the U.S. All our trips are full service with equipment, refreshments and meals provided. Float trips are done in comfortable, stable whitewater style rafts.

Private Water Fishing is a club of anglers who enjoy fishing on private lakes and ponds. Our members pay annual dues and a seperate day rate to fish on each of our 70 plus lakes. Lakes range from 1 to 150 acres, with many located within 90 miles of DFW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Tyler. Each site is stocked with a variety of species and managed by Private Water Fishing fisheries biologists. Fertilization, and limited harvesting are exercised to enusre and balanced fishery. We are a catch and release club allowing those to fish to grow larger sizes: increasing the oppotrunity for other members to catch a fish of a lifetime. Many sites are trophy bass lakes that are intensely managed and have produced bass over 13 lbs. Members are guaranteed to be the only one on the lake. When you lease the lake the lake is yours for the day, no one else will be on the water with you. You have the lake all to yourself. Most lakes have boats available for members to use. Small boats can be launched on all sites, and a few sites do have boat ramps. Members pay yearly dues and half and full day access fees.  Lodging is available for an additional fee on approx 25% of our properties. Fish for hundreds of dollars a year not thousands of dollars.

We are committed to providing the best all-around fishing experience on Lake Whitney.  We have been offering full service guided fishing trips since 2002.  Our focus is on giving our fishing clients the most comfortable and enjoyable fishing experience available.  Experience is not necessary and we love to help teach new anglers and first-timers alike, no matter their age.  We offer snacks and drinks on our four hour charters and a light lunch on our all day trips at no additional charge.  We fish for Striped Bass, White Bass, three species of Catfish, and two species of Crappie, but these are only a few of the many species available in Lake Whitney.  There are Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Spotted Bass.  Some of the toughest and largest fish aren't even usually mentioned.  These would be:  Alligator Gar, Needlenose Gar, Buffalo, and Carp.  Many times we catch these other species while targeting other fish.

This guide service holds More State and Waterbody Records of Big Fish (several over 200+lbs) than any other similar guide service by far. If you want to tackle your Monster gar with a rod and reel or a bow and arrow it's your choice and with over 30+ years experience, I will be happy to chase your trophy with either method. I also fish more waterbodies than any other as well, such as the Trinity River,Choke Canyon,Falcon Lake and several other great waterbodies and I am fully equiped with all the gear you need to land a MONSTER FISH. As seen on Animal Planet (with Jeremy Wade), Quest for the One,Monsterfish as well as numerous other magazines and T.V Shows.

Also do not forget all the other species we will tackle alongside the Alligator gar such as the Common carp,Grass carp,Buffalo, Fresh water Drum,Spotted gar, Neddle Nose gar, Tilapia, and occasionally catfish when using the rod and reel.

I will go after your Trophy fish during the day or at Night which ever time it takes to get the job done. You will have the trip of a life time chasing a true DINOSAUR.
