Only annual non-resident fishing licenses are available online now. Dress for the weather conditions. Bring your phone or camera, sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, hat. Bring something to eat and drink, I highly recommend water & Gatorade. Your guide will have a cooler on the boat.

    Fun day of fishing

    Headwaters Lake Bass 1/2 Day on August 16, 2025

    We went out with Brett for a 4 hour trip. We caught over 30 Bass using shiners. It was a lot of fun and almost had a fish on every cast. It was really cool watching them chase the shiners. I've never experienced that before.
