Big Water Boating – Laughlin

Discover the untouched wilderness of Arizona with Big Water Boating. Your guide for the day, Eric Richins, will take you to some of the hottest spots along the Colorado River to put you on trophy Bass, Trout, and Catfish. He welcomes all ages and skill levels and will tailor your trip based on your preferences.

You’ll spend the day aboard a 21 Sun Tracker pontoon, equipped with all the amenities you need for a successful day of fishing. She comes with a GPS, fishfinder, and a live bait tank. She has enough room for 6 people to fish comfortably and accommodates children of all ages.

Eric provides a variety of packages designed for every type of angler. Whether your a beginner or expert, you’ll be able to fish at your own pace and challenge yourself as much as you like. You can choose to combine fishing with a bit of relaxation, sight-seeing, and unwinding time at the local hot springs.

You can choose between half-day, full-day, or overnight camping trips. On each trip, you’ll target tricky-to-catch species such as Rainbow Trout and Steelhead, as well as hard-fighters like Striped Bass. Other targets include Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Sunfish, and Catfish.

Your guide will supply you with top-of-the-line Ugly Stik, Orvis, and Daiwa rods and reels, as well as bait and lures. Just remember to bring some sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and your Arizona or Nevada fishing license, and the rest will be taken care of. Catch cleaning services are also included so you can take home a delicious fillet or two for the family.

I've been fishing my whole life, mostly fly fishing. As I got into guiding wilderness trips and working as a wilderness river ranger, my fishing techniques and interests grew. After over a decade of guiding and getting a Master’s degree in Freshwater Ecology, I decided I should run my own outfit.
