Mosquito Creek Outfitters
Mosquito Creek Outfitters
Mosquito Creek Outfitters is owned and operated by captain Chad Fenstermaker. He’s been catching Walleye since he was old enough to hold a rod and it’s always been his biggest passion. The love of this sport led him to pursue this career and he guides fishing trips almost every day. Whether you'ra a long-time fisherman wanting to learn some new techniques or just getting started, these trips are sure to get you hooked!
Your day of Walleye fishing starts aboard a Warrior 208 tournament style walleye boat. The rig is powered by a Mercury 300 HP engine that gets you to the spot and a 15HP Mercury kicker that lets you efficiently troll. This 20’ vessel accommodates up to 4 guests.
Walleye is the star of the show on every trip, and they will be your main target. Trolling is the way to go, so you just need to notice when the lines start twitching. Let the captain know if you’re a beginner, so he can quickly show you the basics. A bit of practice makes wonders and you’ll be landing your trophy before you know it.
All rods, reels, and baits are provided by Capt. Chad. You just need to pack a lunch, bring your fishing license, and come aboard! Bottled water is covered by the captain but feel free to bring other soft drinks.
Your Walleye adventure is only a few clicks away. Mosquito Creek Outfitters welcomes you aboard!

Great fishing day, but hot!
Captain Chad was great. We were up at the lake during a week of high winds, so we weren't sure if we were going to be able to go on our fishing trip. Chad kept contact with me the whole week, discussing the weather and other possible days for our excursion. We ended up going out on a Friday and I was so thankful b/c my son was sooo looking forward to fishing. The boat is on the small side for five people, but it worked out just fine. We had quite a long ride to get out to where the fish were, but once we stopped and Chad set up the lines, the fish started biting immediately. We caught 9 keepable Walleye and several babies that had to be thrown back. Our trip was supposed to be 4 hours, but we cut it short due to the heat. There was no breeze coming off the lake at all and my son got hot to the point of being lethargic and not even wanting to reel in anymore fish. So, we called it a day. I imagine we would've caught a lot more had we stayed out. But, we were satisfied with our catch. Captain Chad was great to work with, friendly and knowledgeable. We would definitely go fishing with him again.

Great Afternoon on the Lake
This was a surprise anniversary gift from my wife. It had been years since I’d been out on the lake. Captain Chad went above and beyond making sure every rig was ready to go and in the water. It seemed like we always had a fish on. Really nice sized walleye and a bonus steelhead. We will certainly book again!
