About Your Trip

If you're looking to explore the marshes and shallow-water flats around Toledo Bend, TX, then this trip with Steve has your name on it! Steve is passionate about fishing, especially fly-fishing, and ties all of his own flies as well as running his own fly and rod shop. Whether you're an experienced angler looking to try out a new environment, or a beginner looking to perfect your cast, Steve has all the tools and tricks to ensure you have a great day on the water.

On this trip, you'll target Crappie, Largemouth Bass, and White Bass—all freshwater sport species known for their tenacious fighting abilities! These fish will crush lures and dry flies, so you can play to your own strengths. Steve will get you set up with whatever tackle is most suited to the weather, season, and conditions, so you can have the best possible shot at a personal best.

You'll be fishing from Steve's 17' Gator Tail mud boat, which is designed specifically for fishing shallow marshes and flats. You'll be able to get to hard-to-reach places where big fish like to hang out, and cast directly to the lunkers! Steve will bring along everything you need for a blue-ribbon day, including rods, reels, tackle, and flies. All you need is sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and your Texas fishing license!

You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

The deposit for this trip is non-refundable (but if the weather is too bad to go out, you will still receive a credit back to your account).

If the weather doesn’t cooperate you’ll be covered by our 100% weather guarantee and you won’t lose your deposit.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
