⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain Will Nolan! If you are looking for a top-tier charter experience, book with Captain Will Nolan without hesitation. This was easily one of the absolute best fishing trips we have ever taken! From the moment we pushed off, Captain Will had us dialed in and on the fish immediately. His knowledge of the water, top-notch gear, and welcoming energy made the entire trip seamless and fun for everyone on board—including our pup! We ended up hauling in 10 gorgeous fish averaging around 8 pounds each. Reeling in monster after monster kept the excitement high all morning long. To top off an already stellar day, Captain Will expertly fileted the entire catch for us at the end, so we went home with coolers packed with fresh fillets ready for the kitchen. Incredible action, great company, and five-star hospitality. We cannot recommend Captain Will highly enough and will definitely be booking with him again! But only if Mr. Fen is part of the crew (Mr. Fen is captain Nolan's adorable dachshund)
My sons and I had an amazing day. Capt. Will put us on fish all day long. A big bonus was seeing some beautiful views from the boat as he explained parts of the the surrounding area and filled us with knowledge. After fishing for trout all my life I was able to complete the chase, lake trout! He will not disappoint, trust Capt. Will, thanks again
it was so good to spend time and share memories with you boys on the water thank you for the support 💪
though the weather syatem was not working in our favor for lake trout. we atill had an amazing day on the lake. the sunrise and great trup was well worth it indeed. we still caught 3 big fish and saw the best scenery ever. made my husbands bucket list fishing trip on lake champlain memorable indeed.
