FISHING...
Cheaper than therapy!
Guided fishing trips are one of the many activities that you can enjoy while spending time at RDO. Whether you come to strictly cast a line for the day or you plan on bowfishing into the wee hours of the morning, we'll do our best to make your experience one you'll be telling your friends about. The main body of water that we guide is Canton Lake, one of western Oklahoma's most beautiful bodies of water. It is located in Blaine and Dewey counties and is just a short drive from our HQ. Mark grew up a few miles from the lake and spent most of his childhood fishing on it's waters. As with our hunting, we welcome all skill levels and ages of fishermen (and fisherwomen!).
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Q: WHAT GEAR DO I NEED TO BRING?
On our fishing and bowfishing trips, we provide all gear you will need to fish. If you have your own equipment that you would like to bring, we can certainly accomodate you. If you are fishing during the day, it's a good idea to throw in something to protect you against the sun and if you are fishing during the evening or into the night, bug spray is invaluable!

Q: WILL WE BE FISHING FROM A BOAT?
Yes, we have a pontoon boat that is equipped with four fishing seats (two in the front and two in the back), as well as a bench seat across from the captain's chair. There is a deck area on the front of the boat that is perfect for casting your rod or flinging some arrows. We also have four rod holders if you want to sit back and relax while the fish find your lure.
