Last Chance for Fall Color Paddle Trips

We are still running trips and will continue as long as this great weather holds out. If you've never spent a crisp fall day on the wild and scenic Mississippi River during the fall color season, now is your chance! Take a break from the stress of school or work and come unwind for a day on the water.



According to the DNR Fall Color Finder...
We are currently at 25-50% color change!


Grab your camera and come out
for one last paddle of the season!

As usual, we had a great turnout for our September 30th tournament, and saw many familiar faces. Despite water being higher than usual, everyone still had a spectacular time and caught many big smallmouth. After fishing, everyone enjoyed a fantastic meal from Cutting Edge Catering (Nelson Brothers Restaurant, Pub, and Bakery) and ice cold beer from Beaver Island Brewing. A huge THANK YOU to all those who participated and helped! A special thank you goes out to our main sponsors: Clearwater Travel Plaza, Nelson Brothers Restaurant, Pub, and Bakery, Current Designs Kayak, NuCanoe, and Jackson Kayak.
In case you missed it, here are some statistics:

  • 62 Smallmouth Bass scored, many more caught.
  • Winning score was 56" (cumulative 3 fish)
  • Top 10 anglers had average score of 52.53"
  • 16 fish scored over 18" with 7 over 19"

Here are some interesting facts:


  • Small businesses donate 250% more than larger businesses to non-profits and community causes (Source: Seattle Good Business Network).
  • If you spend $100 at a local business, roughly $68 stays in your local economy. If you spend the same at a large business, only $43 stays in the local economy (Source: Civic Economics Study in Grand Rapids Michigan).
