Make some memories in beautiful Northwest Pennsylvania and go fishing with Nature Of The Beast Fishing. I'm a lifelong resident of the area, I've been fishing these waters since an early age and I'm ready to get you on trophy fish.

I specialize in Musky and Northern Pike, and also target Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Brown Trout, Steelhead and more. On the day of your trip we will either be casting or trolling with light tackle. I also specialize in fly fishing and provide all the gear. Please note we have a strict catch-and-release policy, so any fish you catch will go back into the water.

Your boat for the day is an 18' Jet boat with space for 3 passengers plus myself. It has everything else you need for a productive day on the water. I will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. We do use live bait certain times of the year which is provided.

You will need a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. I recommend you dress for the weather the day of your trip, sunscreen, a hat, snacks, drinks, and especially recommend polarized sunglasses. Children are welcome aboard and I have had many kids on the water that have caught their first musky.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Nature Of The Beast Fishing.

    Do It!

    Full Day Trip on September 22, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    I booked 2 full days of fishing. The fish were being really stubborn and almost completely refused to follow or bite anything. Despite the difficult fish and us being new to musky fishing, Captain Josh was able to help both me and my 10 y.o. son catch our first musky! All the equipment was great and Josh was patient and helpful in teaching us how to use everything and the basics of musky fishing. I had a great experience and highly recommend Nature of the Beast Fishing!

    Great day fishing!

    Fishing trip on June 11, 2026 • 2 adults

    Highly recommend! My 14 year son and I chartered a day with Josh and we were both very happy. We were targeting Musky and Pike. We hit one musky, but it got away and had several others follow our lures to the boat. My son landed a 26 1/2” Pike. Josh knew the river and the fish and spent the entire time focused on helping us. By the time we got home we were trying to plan our next trip.

    Awesome trip!

    Half Day Trip on September 18, 2025 • 3 adults

    We had a great time. Our guide Josh did his homework and put us on fish, it was only a matter of time until they were biting. Josh was friendly and super knowledgeable about the water, fishing the surrounding area and the outdoors. He has a passion for fishing and you can tell. I totally recommend this outfitter. We definitely will be going again.
