That must have been a rumor. Someone at a resort up there told us they were in the river and the lake. We never actually fished for them.
The houseboats are a blast, there’s some work involved, but well worth it. Some advice, when picking out your mooring spots, take the coming weather into consideration. If there’s gonna be heavy north winds, hook up on the south side of an island or in a bay protected from the north. Try and bring enough two cycle/boat gas with you so you don’t have to buy it from the place you get your boat, they’ll rape you on the cost. Also, make sure and bring more than enough beer, groceries and supplies, once you get into the park, there’s nothing, and it can be a long trip back. Lastly, theres a couple mooring sites at the mouths of channels and they are a hazard, they shouldn’t even be there. We hooked up at one near Blueberry island the last time we were there (I can’t think of the name of that channel, Kempton I think). Anyway, it got a little windy and the channel acted as a funnel causing one of the hooks to break off the bank. Our boat washed up against the bank sideways and we had a hell of a time getting it out of there without damaging anything.
What the heck is “SHO TIME”?
. Might be worth the $$ to get a guide, even for a 1/2 day.
