Lots of fish. Great guide.

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.
