Late Summer Fishing Can Be The Best Bite
Late Summer Fishing Can Be The Best Bite
Jul 4, 2023 Loveland
The late summer bite for walleye, wiper, white bass, and largemouth bass is usually some of the best fishing of the year. From July until Labor Day the fish get set up in patterns that make for consistent fishing. If you've been thinking about booking a trip, now is the time - both Union in Longmont and Boyd in Loveland, Colorado will be good choices.

Two new lakes
Two new lakes
Aug 28, 2020 Loveland
We've added 2 new lakes in Loveland area that we will be guiding in 2021 - Lon Hagler and Boedecker. These two lakes add some exciting opportunities for crappie, white bass, largemouth bass, some walleye, trout, and northern pike. April is a great time for the crappie and white bass with a few walleyes mixed in. May is good for everything. June and July have good bass fishing with a chance at some pike. August can be good evening bass fishing.
