General Information

Fish at our place on O.H. Ivie Reservoir in West-Central Texas. Lake Ivie has over 
25,000 surface acres of some of the best fishing in all of Texas. Bass and crappie are favorite catches, but the lake offers a variety of fish. We have a twenty-two foot pontoon boat (featuring shade and porta - potty) that can fish six or seven easily.

Then stay at our place on twenty-four acres that overlooks the lake. We have beds, hot and cold running water, air conditioning, indoor facilities, and even a game room with pool table, cards, and dominos.

We'll feed you all you can eat of good, home cooked meals like grilled steak, burritos, fajitas, spaghetti, chili, and maybe fish. We'll clean and bag all the fish and do the dishes.

Families, business groups, senior citizens, fishermen/women/children of all ages are welcome. Groups up to eight can be handled comfortably, and perhaps more under certain circumstances. Requirements to bring: sleeping bag, pillow, and towel. Optional to bring: drinks (coffee, tea, and water are provided), favorite rod and tackle (or use equipment we furnish), and ice chest. Stay a night or two or three, or stay a week.

In season, we can also offer dove hunting, and you can fish and hunt in combination. For example, fish in the morning and go out for dove in the afternoon. We can also fish at night, if desired. We have no timetables-that is, no set times to start and stop. We want you to do what YOU want to do for however long you want to do it, and we'll plan accordingly.

A typical trip might be as follows: come in one evening for supper and enjoy a Texas steak grilled on the outdoor grill; spend the night; have breakfast; fish and hunt during the day; spend another night; fish and hunt a second day; stay another night if you'd like--all meals furnished. (No charge for the third night if you choose to stay.)

We can make special arrangements, if necessary, 7lnd meet any special diet requirements, if requested. We just need to know what activities you'd like-fishing or fishing and hunting-how many in your group, and how long you'd like to stay. You'll find our rates very reasonable (see page 2). Pick a date and book a trip. You can reach us at the address and phone number above or at this e-mail address:
