On the Water

Fishing Bull Shoals

Bull Shoals Lake is a massive reservoir known for its deep, clear water and abundant trout population. We target Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and the occasional Cutthroat Trout here. The bite can be fantastic year-round, with spring and fall often being prime times for aggressive feeding. Summer offers great opportunities in the cooler, deeper water, and winter can produce some of the largest Brown Trout of the year. A charter out of Bull Shoals means exploring a wide expanse of water, often finding pods of trout feeding on shad or insects. It’s a different kind of fishing than the river, offering a chance at larger, more open-water style catches.
