River Ranch

[PeterF]

I'm going to be visiting River Ranch Florida in mid February. I googled it and it looks like it's close to Lake Walk-In-Water. Has anyone fished this area and do you guys know of a guide thats close by? Thanks for the help.

River Ranch is on the Kissimmee River (I live about 13 min west on the north shore of Lake Walk-In-Water).

You'll be surrounded by world-class waters, the choice is yours:

Lake Walk-In-Water, Lake Kissimmee, Lake Hatchineha, Cypress Lake, Crooked Lake, I could go on.

If you wanted to punch out from there, you might book a trip with George Welcome on Stick Marsh/Farm-13,

and there's also Lake Toho and Lake Istokpoga (all good stuff).

Thank you for the input.

River Ranch sits off a lateral canal that comes in off the Kissimmee River just south of route 60. You are under an hour from: Lake Kissimmee, Lake Hatcheneha, Lake Walk-In-Water, Blue Cypress Lake, Lake Toho, Cypress Lake, Lake Marion, Ansin/Garcia, Stick Marsh/Farm 13, Crooked Lake, and a few others. Not far from you is Camp Mack, and Cap't Dick Lawson is one of several guides from there that fish most of these lakes.

PS: I caught one from the lateral canal that went 9.75 pounds on a white spiner bait. I caught several nice fish in the marina area and canal in River Ranch.
