Welcome to Empire Bass & Beyond! My name is Craig Nels, and I want to treat you to a great fishing trip!

I encourage you to look around the site to learn more about my service, and to book a trip.  Upstate New York has some wonderful fishing opportunities, and I look forward to sharing them with you.
