We had a lot of fun catching Peacock Bass. It was the first time my daughter caught a bass, and she still talks about it. Overall, a great experience.

We had an amazing time with Mike! We caught a bunch of Peacock Bass, Largemouth Bass, and even some Catfish. Mike was incredibly helpful and made sure we had plenty of time to fish during our trip. I highly recommend him as a guide for the Lake Ida region.
