Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-time fisherman, RBO is here to make your next Northwoods adventure a memorable one. Join us for an unforgettable day of fishing some of the best waters in Northern Wisconsin. We target Musky, Smallmouth, Walleye, Brown and Brook trout with both fly rods and conventional fishing gear on various warm water and coldwater streams in the area. The river we fish will depend on conditions such as weather, water temperatures, time of year, and flows. We provide all the gear for a day on the water but if you’d rather use your own equipment, feel free to bring it.
As we float downstream I will navigate the boat as you fish current breaks and different structures throughout the river in search of that lunker. Typically our trips start in the morning, half day trips are 4-6 hrs while full day trips can be up to 10 hrs. Trip times can vary due to weather, flows, and fishing stops. Depending on the day of the week we see very few anglers compared to fishing lakes, sometimes all we see is wildlife. While fishing the river you can expect to see deer, bald eagles, ducks, geese, kingfishers and sometimes beavers, bears, and otters.
The day of the trip we will meet at an agreed upon location. You will then follow me to the launch/put in where I’ll get the boat in the water. After we will shuttle my truck to the takeout. Shuttling usually takes 20-25 mins round trip depending on the length of the float. We float many different rivers throughout Northern Wisconsin therefore if I plan on fishing a river that is farther away we can discuss a better meeting spot depending on where you’re coming from.
I will have a cooler loaded down with waters and snacks but bring any other drinks or food you may want. A valid WI fishing license is required the day of your trip.
I look forward to showing you a great day on the water!

8 Hour Trip – Musky Float on June 22, 2024
We had a great day fishing with Matt. He has a lot of knowledge and was very patient and persistent. Landed three legal fish for the day and missed two others. Looking forward to our next trip!
