Brule River Walk and Wade Fishing Trips
The Bois Brule River, a storied gem nestled in northern Wisconsin, is renowned for its pristine beauty and world-class fishing opportunities. Located just a 45-minute drive from Duluth, Minnesota, this picturesque river offers anglers and nature enthusiasts alike a chance to experience some of the best fishing the Midwest has to offer.
Fishing opportunities start when the river opens on the last Saturday in March and run until the river closes on November 15th.
Steelhead trips can be booked in the spring and fall
Lake run brown trout trips can be booked August- September
Salmon trips can be booked in the fall
Resident trout trips can be booked May-September
We offer guided fly trips, spinning gear trips, and centerpin trips. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome, as we focus not only on catching fish but also on teaching you the skills to be successful on your own with your preferred angling method.
Our trips are designed as walk-and-wade excursions, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the river while maintaining a hands-on approach to fishing. Whether you're navigating the shallows or casting your line into deeper pools, each moment spent along the river's banks is a chance to connect with nature and experience the thrill of the catch. Join us on the Bois Brule River for an exceptional fishing experience. With its stunning surroundings and abundant fish populations, it is not just a trip; it's an adventure that promises memories to last a lifetime.
All trout trips are catch-and-release to preserve this special population of fish.

Half-Day Trip – Brule River Trout
We’ll be back with Mack!
I have been mostly a self taught trout fly fisherwoman since the age of 6, so when the stars aligned and I got an opportunity to fish the beastly Brule, I went looking for some help. Mack was the perfect fit. He had excellent communication with me, starting with a meet and great phone call to discuss logistics, hopes for the trip, gear, and any accommodations needed. He put me immediately at ease with his genuine ability to connect with other humans and his vast knowledge and passion for the fishing of the north and south Superior shore tributaries. He provided everything my mom and I needed for the trip and shared his knowledge freely, as an incredibly approachable teacher. He provided insightful and encouraging feedback, but left enough space for one to explore and work out your own kinks (skill kinks that is, he has your back on any line hangups). For a man who expertly guides other guides, he was an incredibly effective, patient, passionate and professional, natural born teacher for my mom and me, who were hungry for knowledge and skill, but ultimately lacking both. His fun sense of humor and varied interests make him a joy to be with. Mack went above and beyond by helping us piece together the gear and setups for the remainder of our trip. We feel incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon Mack and you will be too. We will be back!

Half-Day Trip – Brule River Trout
Captain Mack knows his stuff - a great experience!
First time fishing the Brule, I had researched it enough to know I had no clue and needed an orientation to the fishery. Mack over achieved. His knowledge of how and where to fish was exactly what I was looking for. His deep historical knowledge of the area was not expected and a real treat. Captain Mack is the real deal. And Yes we caught our first Steelhead. Thank you Mack

Had a blast with Mack and improved my casting so much. Couldn’t have done it without him. He was super helpful.
