Superior has a fish with your name on it, so let Nolan’s Guide Service help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Tim can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Walleye, Lake Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Brown Trout, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Musky, and more. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep.

Your excursion begins aboard an 18’ Lund with a capacity for 3 passengers. It has downriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can’t go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now’s the time to experience fishing in Superior for yourself with Nolan’s Guide Service!

Captain Tim Nolan, lovingly known as "Captim" by his children, hails from Superior, WI. A Navy veteran, devoted husband, father, and passionate outdoorsman, Tim's deep-rooted love for nature was nurtured during his upbringing, spending countless days with his father and mentors. With a strong desire to work in the outdoor industry and share his enthusiasm, Tim returned to Superior, near his family, after the Navy brought him to Florida, embracing the endless outdoor opportunities of the northland.
