Spring River Fishing from the banks of Riverside Resort


Fishing is excellent for Trout, Large Mouth Bass, Small Mouth Bass, Walleye, Tiger Muskies and assorted Pan Fish.


The Trout fishing offers the opportunity to catch both Browns and Rainbows on fly's and light spinning gear. The
fishing is good just about anyplace on the Upper Spring River.

Just below the Spring is a choice spot for large Browns.

Below Dam 3, (The Hatchery is located there.)

The Famous Bayou Access with its fast runs and deep pools hold an enormous number of Rainbows and Walleye.

Riverside Resort is where the last four State Record Tiger Muskies were caught and a number of large Walleye have been landed just below the mouth of Big Creek.

This Creek is home to Spotted Bass, Small Mouth and lots of Bream.

Fishing Tips:
Fly Fishing is one way of taking Trout. A 4 wt. or 6 wt. 8 to 9 Foot Rod, Sink Tip Line and Short Leaders are the order of the day here. Nymphs, Wooly Buggers, and Crawfish patterns, drifted with the current produce large numbers of quality fish. Light Spinning Tackle with Rooster Tail spinners or Small Jigs is always a good bet for some hot action.
