They call him the Robin Hood of the river.
Bowfishing day or night, paddlefish in season, and rod-and-reel for catfish, walleye and smallmouth. Your gear, your boat, your guide — handled.
Same flat rate, same gear-included setup, whichever method you're after. Four hours on the water plus another hour cleaning fish on the bank.
Carp, gar, buffalo, and other nongame species. Come see the famous jumping Asian carp. Custom-rigged Sea Ark boat with deck lights for night runs — the CARP HOG 2.0. We'll put a bow in your hands even if you've never shot one.
Missouri River, October 1–31, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nebraska state paddlefish snagging tag required — you draw, we guide. We'll send reminders when the application window opens so you don't miss it. We supply everything and clean your fish.
Missouri River paddlefish with a bow. June 1–30, sunrise to sunset. Nebraska state paddlefish archery tag required — separate from the snagging draw. Crossbows prohibited above the Highway 81 bridge. We supply all the gear needed but you're welcome to use your own if you wish.
Catfish, walleye, and smallmouth on the river. Catfish run day or night — the channels and flatheads bite hardest after dark. Walleye and small jaws are daylight trips. We'll fish what's biting that day depending on water temp and conditions. Bait, rods, and rigs all on the boat.
Bowfishing, paddlefish, or rod & reel — the rate doesn't change. Bring your fishing license. Bring a paddlefish tag if that's the trip. That's it.
Read this before you book and you'll have the answers to most of what comes up. The rest, just message — Ty answers his own messages, like he has since 2005.
2-person minimum on every trip. Max 6 for fishing, max 4 for paddlefish. Solo paddlefish is OK — you'll be paired up with another booking for the day so we can still run the boat.
Same spot, ninety-nine percent of trips. Detailed map and directions sent to your phone the day you book — no guessing, no GPS hunting at sunrise.
Federal property at the meeting point. You do not need a Nebraska state park permit. Park where the map points you and walk down to the dock.
Valid fishing license, weather-appropriate clothes, food and drinks for yourself, a cooler if you want to take fish home. We supply everything else.
Those are on you — a Nebraska state paddlefish tag, drawn through the Nebraska Game & Parks application lottery. We'll post reminders when the window opens. Bring your permit and we'll do the rest.
If we cancel for weather, we'll move you to another open day that works. If nothing this season fits, you keep your spot for next year.
Cash, Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp at the takeout. No deposits required, though we may add online deposits later if it makes things easier.
Some days are about the trophy. Most days are about the people in the boat.— Ty Stromquist, owner & head guide
