My friend and I wanted to catch pike and Tyler put us on the pike. We caught several pike and several walleye. We really enjoyed catching fish using a variety of different lures and techniques. Catching lots of fish on a peaceful lake as the sun is going down was the perfect way to spend a summer evening.

Your captain
I guide year-round fishing adventures throughout the Manitouwadge area — exploring lakes by boat in summer and snowmobile in winter. Trips range from easy-access waters to quieter backcountry lakes that require more effort to reach. In warm weather, we fish from a 16' Starcraft or a smaller aluminum boat; when the ice sets in, we switch to shelters, augers, and sleds. My focus is providing safe, enjoyable experiences and memorable days on the water — or ice — for anglers of all skill levels.
