We booked a fishing tour with Chris Stowe on a Saturday in August, and he scheduled our trip early so we’d be one of the first boats on the lake. From the start, Chris was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and determined to get us on the fish. His deep connection to the lake and passion for the sport were clear.

Although we didn’t choose the most ideal date, Chris gave it his all—quickly getting lines in the water and constantly adjusting to keep us on track. Despite heavy boat traffic and what Chris called one of his slowest days, our group of six (ranging in age and skill) still had a successful trip. We caught enough to feed eight people with plenty of leftovers!

All in all, it was a fantastic day—great company, beautiful scenery, and a guide who truly went above and beyond. Even on a slow day, there’s nothing better than time on the water with family and a new friend.

booked trip for 4. trip was scheduled for a Saturday afternoon but spoke with captain Chris and he said Sunday morning would be better fishing than Saturday because of weather conditions. Chris knows his business and we went out Sunday morning and limited out in less than 3 hours. thank you captain Chris for everything.  very enjoyable trip

Great service during the trip and lot’s of fish

Chris is pleasant and experienced.  He was prepared for the trip, and he was ready to pull away from the dock as soon as we showed up at 0600.  His boat is comfortable and spacious.  His tackle is in good shape.  We went during a hot spell in late June, and the stripers were a little uncooperative.  Still, Chris worked hard to hunt fish down and put us on fish, and we ended up doing pretty well (kept 14 fish between two fishermen).  Chris has a good relationship with several other guides on the lake, and he was able to communicate with them by radio and phone to help determine places to try where fish had been present.  All in all a very good trip.  Relaxing and fun.  I would definitely recommend Chris Stowe for your fishing outing.

We were on the water a hour longer than we were suppose to because the striper weren’t biting like normal. Bubba and Chris took us to 4 different holes and after awhile we finally got striper in the boat. But even with this the jug they set landed us 24 catfish added on to the striper. These guys are great company and very knowledgeable. Will definitely use them again.
