When you’re in the mood to explore the bountiful fishing grounds of Red River and Texoma Lake, turn to Dw’s Guide Service! With Captain Dylan Lyons at the helm, you’re in for a fun and productive day on the water that will earn you your bragging rights.

Striped Bass is the most prized catch here because they come in impressive sizes and they’re incredible fighters. You could also easily find Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, Catfish, and even Alligator Gar at the end of your line.

There’s a variety of fishing techniques that you can try out, depending on your preferences. Capt. Dylan
will provide you with quality rods, reels, and tackle, so you can leave your own at home. Fly fishing and bowfishing equipment are also available on request and if using these techniques, anglers can take turns when fishing.

Your fishing platform is a 28’ Silver Dollar aluminum boat, freshly restored in 2018. The vessel is rigged with a 300hp suzuki engine and has enough space to accommodate up to 8 anglers.

The solid navigational electronics will keep you on the bite at all times, and there’s a wireless trolling motor on board, as well. This is particularly useful when you’re sneaking up to the spooky fish in the shallow waters.

Your catch will be safe in the ice chest on the boat, and when you come back to land, the first mate will clean and fillet it for you. For all his great work, a 10–20% tip is much appreciated.

All you need for this trip is a valid fishing license, drinks, snacks, and towels. Kids are welcome to join you on the trip, as long as they’re 5
Or older, your guide will make sure they have the best time.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to fish with Dw’s Guide Service, catch a boatload of fish, and have the time of your life on the water!

Smallmouth bass trip on June 9, 20252 adults1 child
Great fishing day with Cap'n Dylan on dedicated smallmouth trip. Stopped to fish on cross country trip with son and grandson. We caught lots of smallmouth, small stripers, white bass and even hooked a large goldeneye. A few of the smallmouth were over 4 pounds. Exciting action on light tackle. The boat is very comfortable with padded floor and padded rails. It is also very wide making casting with multiple anglers safe and efficient. Cap'n Dylan knows where to find fish, was polite, attentive and fun to be with. We are going out on a striper trip tomorrow morning and look forward to another epic adventure.
