The Riviera is Jackson Kayak’s blend of easy and FUN! Designed for its simplicity, the Riviera is a great option for those looking for an easy to use, easy to store and comfortable sit on top. The high back on the seat gives you the comfort and support you need to to enjoy your paddling adventures, and with very few moving parts, the Riviera is sure to provide fun for a lifetime. A small day hatch in the center provides semi-dry storage for your lunch, sunblock, or other accessories you might need close at hand. A great “cottage boat” as well as one of the most popular rental boats on the market. Its what we use for our river rentals. Length: 11’4″ • Width: 29″ • Capacity: 300 lbs • Weight: 58 lbs—$599.00

Sunrise/ first cast- 7:42 am

Sunset / Last cast-7:43 pm

Crossing to bluegrass is permitted

Colors:there hasnt been any real consistency in the last two days. The green heads/berkley firetiger, orange heads/green sparkle tail, black head/ shimmershad tail  all are good go to combinations.

let me address a rumor-out of state fishing licenses have not been cancelled.

It got cold last night again..thats 2 cold nights in a row. For the most part that slowed down the bite early yesterday, we did see some limits yesterday but they were few and far between.  The current is up and moving faster in the last 24 hrs- may not be able to get to bluegrass island today even though the level is right at the passable level the current may be to fast–exercise caution.  The fish that were caught were consistently hit at bluegrass and button wood park. With the water being slightly higher maybe trying a lighter weight at Orleans or white street might put you on a few fish .

Lots of fish being bumped and snagged  so we know that there is a lot of walleye in there–a little rain and sunshine will turn on the bite . Also stop in and check out our fishing kayaks–we have some to fit your budget and having a fishing kayak opens a whole new world of fishing opportunities. 

Have fun, smile,  be safe , and good luck fishing.
