Locations

Location will depend on targeted species and time of year, as well as if you have a preference. I offer trips on the upper and lower Wisconsin river sections in Wisconsin Dells as well for walleye and smallmouth and also Muskie trips to the Castle Rock and Petenwell lake area.

Species Targeted

Discover the untapped potential of the Wisconsin River in the vicinity of the Wisconsin Dells area with our esteemed fishing guide service. With a specialization in targeting prized species such as walleyes, smallmouth bass, and muskies, I offer unparalleled expertise and knowledge. As staunch advocates of responsible angling, we wholeheartedly endorse the catch and release philosophy for all muskies and smallmouth, while also encouraging the preservation of trophy-sized walleyes (please note that walleyes ranging from 15 to 20 inches are considered fair game for the dinner table). It is essential to recognize that achieving trophy potential for these three species requires considerable time and patience in our waters.

Important Information

Items to Bring

  • Food and drinks. Please no glass on the boat.
  • Appropriate attire for weather conditions. This includes insect repellent, sunscreen, rain gear, sunglasses etc.

Keeping Fish

While some species are generally considered catch and release ie muskies, smallmouth/largemouth bass, sturgeon, large northern pike (35+ inches), and large over the slot walleyes (28+ inches) as they have the best genetics for spawning; and are lowest in density.
Any other fish if you’d like to keep I will gladly clean for you at an added cost, if it is planned prior to booking so I can make sure I have the time needed.
If you do plan on keeping fish, please bring a cooler with ice to store your catch after it is filleted.
