    Lucky Day

    Half day wade fishing oswego river1 adult

    There's no guarantees when you go fishing. The water levels were low and the temps were high, not ideal conditions. But John was optimistic and resourceful and he found the right spot and we got lucky. Came home with 2 very nice salmon, both 20+ lbs.

What's biting with Mississippi John's Guide Service in Oswego

Reel-screaming Kings test your stamina, and Coho aren't far behind! For best results, head to the lakes tributaries. And don't forget about Steelhead! These fish come through later in the month.
