Drought?

Yep, the southeast is experiencing the worst drought on record. But, now the good news:

In the Atlanta area, Lake Alatoona is again full; Lake Lanier (the main source of drinking water for the area) is continuing to fall - now at about 17' down - after reaching an astounding 20' down last winter! Without appreciable rain soon, Lanier could reach 22'-23' down before spring.

 

FISHERMEN ARE BEGINNING TO PANIC AGAIN.

MOST BOAT RAMPS ON LAKE LANIER ARE CLOSED, EXCEPT FOR A FEW DIE-HARD RAMPS.

BALUS CREEK RAMP AND SARDIS CREEK RAMP ARE BOTH SCHEDULED FOR EXTENSION BEFORE SPRING.

 

October through April are prime months for land-locked striper fishing and the easiest time of year to catch a striper on fly rod - although stripers can still occasionally be caught shallow throughout the summer.

There is still plenty of deep fishable water - and low water years seem to always produce banner years for striper fishing.

Meanwhile, River Hawk sales are booming: There's no pond, lake or river too dry for the shallow draft of a River Hawk boat! And even our largest boats can be launched from a dry lake bank.

We're seeing quite a few current owners of bass boats and bay boats thumb their nose at the drought by purchasing a second boat: a B-60 Pro Caster or B-60 Kingfish Edition. In so doing, they're discovering - or rediscovering - the joys and pleasures of small boat fishing. There's no thrill like catching a 10 lb. to 20 lb. (or larger) striper from a River Hawk boat!

Right now, on any given day on Lake Lanier, several Pro Casters and Kingfish Editions can be seen with fly fishermen standing up fly-casting at surface-feeding stripers and spots. What a Hoot!

Contact your local Authorized River Hawk Dealer - or call us at the factory - for advice on which model is best suited to your type of fishing.

Don't let drought - or rumors of drought - keep you from fishing this year.
