Johnson's Ranch

If it's peace and quiet you're after....
then Caddo Lake is the place for you.

You will experience a glimpse of the
world others can only imagine.

Johnson's Ranch was established in the early 1920's by the Johnson Brothers.
Mr. Bob Curtis has been running the Ranch for the last 51 years.

The Fisherman's Prayer
Lord, help me to catch a fish so big
that even I, in telling about it afterward,
shall not need to lie.

REMEMBER--
Be careful with fire -
honor fish and game laws -
respect your fellow
sportsman and his property. GOD made
Caddo a sportsman's paradise -
but it's up to YOU to keep it that way.

S.E. Schineider Jr., Shreveport is shown with a 7 foot
142 pound alligator gar he caught in Caddo March 25, 1950.

My name is Ray Rhodes, I have been fishing Caddo out of Johnson's Ranch for 40 years...

My father, Frank Rhodes has fished Caddo for over 50. This photo is of my father and mother, Frank and Anne Rhodes with an alligator gar caught in 1954. The gar was 7'4" long and weighed 200 Lbs. The picture was taken on the dock at Johnson's Ranch looking out across the channel.

If it's crappie your after Henry's the man for you....

Henry Lewis has been guiding on Caddo
Lake since 1953, he was 14 years old and
still remembers his first trip.

Peanut has been guiding for 20 years...

He is Henry's Son. When you go fishing with him you will come back wondering how can a fella work so hard and make it look so easy.

From Sun up to Sun down, Shorty Runs the show....

After a morning or afternoon of fishing, it
won't take him long to clean your fish, so
when you head back to the city your days
catch will be neatly packed in gallon bags
ready for the frying pan.

Paul holds the record for the most bass over 8lbs...

Paul Keith is a licensed guide who owns
and operates a guide service. He has lived
on and fished this lake all his life.

There's nothing in the world like the spark in a child's eye
when they experience the joy of fishing for the first time...

Memories of time spent together on the
lake can last a lifetime. The important
thing is the you experience that time
together.
