Your Captain
Captain Chris Ricci at your service! My aim is to give you the highest quality outdoor experience available. I have been catching fish since the age of 2. There is no substitute for time on the water. That is what it takes to consistently find your target species of fish.
Navajo Lake is a diverse fishery. We can target Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Crappie and/or Bluegill using a variety of baits and techniques. I am a licensed, bonded, insured and registered outdoor guide with more than a decade of experience on Navajo Lake.
