Fall fishing is fully underway at 2 Rivers! As water temps continue to drop, the smallmouth are feeding heavier every day! The days with high sun have been the most productive and the fish are transitioning to deeper water along with the baitfish as most of the weed beds in the river are letting loose and floating down the rivers. Big streamers continue to work well, especially when fished slower.

Walleye bite is phenomenal right now and is only going to get better. Now is your chance for a true trophy sized fish.

Perch are beginning to bite and the crappies are crazy.

Fishing has been exciting all season long and we continue to put fish in the boat trip after trip. The fall feeding frenzy will be kicking off soon as the water temps start to drop! Tight lines everyone!

    Nate picked us up at our resort on Gull Lake right on time. He was very friendly. We caught lots of fish including some nice walleye, large bluegill and a bass. We had a great time. He really went over and above sharing his favorite recipes and directions on stoage and transporting the filets.
