Where the Fish Might Be Biting

There is a small shoal up river before the trout dock called Pat’s Bluff, where a good deep fishing hole can be found towards the east bank. There is also a good deep fishing hole across from our dock. Head out slightly down river to reach the channel, this way you will miss the fallen trees and thick moss up river to the left of the dock. To go past the small shoals in low water, you must pull the motor up and wade up river to protect the props. Cow Shoals is a great place for wading in and fly fishing, when the dam is not generating.

Safety Guidelines

The Little Red River is a tail water trout stream; meaning water upstream is generated through the dam from the bottom of Greer’s Ferry Lake for the trout. The water appears calm when low or high but can be quite treacherous when generating, the water level can rise 6 feet within a short time frame. Do not tie up to a tree, branch, or other stationary object as water may rise rapidly and sink the boat. Be sure the anchor is not stuck on a rock. Do Not Take The Boat Downstream: if generation begins, the river is swift and potentially dangerous; the small motor may not get you back through Cow Shoals. Going up river a small chute is to left of Pats Bluff, at the Red River Trout Dock you can fill the gas tank, it is already mixed. Beware: The gas gauge is not always accurate. Life jackets and paddles are provided for and required by law along with a fishing license and trout stamp for each fisherman. Never seat more than 3 adults or 1 adult and 2 children in the boat at one time and please do not throw anything in the river. Make sure the boat is pulled up on the dock each night, if there are any motor difficulties please call Dick or Bruce immediately to insure deposit return (Dick: 362-8341 / Bruce: 206-0488.)

Cancellations / Security Deposit

Your reservation can be transferred to another party with proper registration. No refunds for cancellations unless made 30 days prior to arrival date. To ensure compliance with the Rental Guidelines, a security deposit of $100.00 is required and will be refunded within 14 days of departure, based on your departure checklist and any damage. After each guest, an inspection takes place: damages or excessive cleaning charges will be deducted from the security deposit with the remainder returned. There is no refund for appliance failure or circumstances beyond our control.
