For anyone looking for a great guide and an opportunity to catch fish I highly recommend Brad! He is very knowledgeable about the area, his gear is top quality and he is very personable. I have booked a trip with Brad the last 3 years and plan on booking more in the future. You couldn’t ask for a better guide or a better person.

4 Hour Trip (Night) on June 8, 2024
1st hour and a half was slow, no keepers, all small. Got rained on then, came in for 25-30 min. then went back out to the south end of the lake with deeper water. The next couple hours was what we were looking for, larger fish, more action, and wound up with quite a few keepers (walleye over 16 in.). Lot of fun.
