    Birthday trip a success!

    6 Hour Trip – Lake Trout (PM) on June 28, 2025 • 2 adults

    We started out slow, no fish or bites for a few hours, with a lot of northerly winds which inverted the water temps; Ryan kept trying different spots, 6 or7; we then tried some deep water spots, and after I put on my lucky hat we hit five nice lakers, including about a ten pounder I hit; Ryan knows lake Cuyahoga inside and out and was very persistent and did not give up, and he let us fish about an hour longer to catch some more fish; I highly recommend Ryan, he has this jigging techniques down to a science and it works well when you find feeding trout, ; we had a great trip, even though it did not start out well

    Half Day Lake and Rainbow Trout, Cayuga Lake, Locked with Lorensen

    6 Hour Trip – Lake Trout (AM) on July 31, 2023

    This is third trip with Captain Ryan from Locked with Lorensen. He has always put us on the fish, knows, the lures to use, and provides the techniques to achieve a great presentation that the fish can't resist. The boat and his fishing gear are top notch, and he is always prompt, courteous and is very good with communication and follow up. Ryan is a talented fish photographer also, and will help you showcase that nice rainbow trout or lake trout for a memorable picture, whether you are keeping or releasing. This trip and all the other trips I have booked with Ryan have exceed expectations. I keep coming back and each experience eclipses the last one. A helpful bit of advice for those looking to book an epic experience with Locked With Lorensen is to book early. His calendar fills up quickly. I like booking two half days, back to back.

    Lake trout trip with Ryan Lorensen

    6 Hour Trip – Lake Trout (AM) on May 5, 2024

    Ryan is more than a guide, he’s a teacher. Ryan creates an experience that allows you catch as many fish possible, but more importantly teach you the right way to do it. We finished with nearly over 10 catches on the day, and all with healthy releases. I always leave Ryan with new information and knowledge, while also a super exciting and fun day.

    Half Day with Captain Ryan

    6 Hour Trip – Multi Species on June 28, 2023 • 2 adults

    We had an awesome overall experience. Captain Ryan took us to various spots around the lake to find fish. He was very informative and taught us proper technique to lure fish along with baiting multiple poles to increase our chance of catching a variety of fish. We were able to use several different lures and rigs and had a blast learning how to use them. At the end of our trip, fish began hitting and we had the best time. Highly recommend.

We were laughing and over joyed all day on the water . Found many honey holes . All equipment was organized maintained and on point all matching . As well as the captain was fun and exciting also could back the boat into the water .. Thanks would do it again .

    Cayuga Lake Trout August

    6 Hour Trip – Lake Trout (AM) on August 14, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Early morning on Cayuga. 5 min ride across lake, set up, drop in, jigged for 3 hours and landed 3, trolled for 3 hours and landed another 6 or so. Me and my 11 year old. Son lost a couple, cuz it's not easy, but he landed the largest of the day, and that one whooped him. So much fun. Luckily it was cloudy for the first 5 hours, then it got hot fast. Definitely recommended. Captain's skills and equipment were top notch.

Man what a day Jim! That was one heck of a challenge and ai couldn't have got it done without you guys hanging in there with me. As I always say never give up and that was a perfect example. Once we found the feeding fish it was game on. I look forward to fishing with you all again.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I have been fishing ever since I can remember as a kid and I have just always loved being outside and on the water as much as possible. I grew up chasing the next bite in every creek, river, or lake I could make it to. For me, it's not just about the catch. It's also about the experience of just being out there and being challenged. I really love how fishing can bring people together. I live for the moments when a client gets hooked up with their biggest fish ever and often times their first fish ever!
