Ellsworth has a fish with your name on it, so let Atkins Ridge Outfitters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Cody is prepared to put you on fish.

Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Lake Trout, Brook Trout, Salmon, and more could be biting, depending on when you go.

On these trips, you can expect to spin fish. Capt. Cody also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one available on board. Snacks are permitted on board, so bring your favorites for a boost of energy when needed!

Your trip begins aboard a 20' aluminum fishing boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Cody will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to purchase a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and non-spray sunblock. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Atkins Ridge Outfitters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Ellsworth. So, how about booking that trip?

We had such a great time fishing with Captain Cody. Our family has limited experience with fishing. Cody provided hands on guidance. The boat and equipment provided were top-notch. Cody is extremely friendly and interesting. Highly recommend!

Fun Day
4 Hour – Fishing Trip on July 2, 20262 adults

My family and I enjoyed our 4 hour trip. We caught several smallmouth bass which was the goal. It was unseasonably warm and the fish turned off after a couple hours, not much the captain could do about that. Overall we had fun.
