Williams Bay, United States
25+ reviews
Having fished all his life, Captain Douglas decided to impart his passion onto his children. Taking them out to fish regularly, people quickly saw how good he was at teaching and guiding, and advised him to start doing it professionally. He took it up as a full-time job and has been successful in growing his business to where it is today. He still loves introducing people to the sport of fishing and seeing their excitement as they reel in their first fish of many.

    First time trip for my son and I fishing lake Geneva couldn’t have gone better. Doug is a great and patient guide that gave us a ton of pointers. He brought us out and put us right on the bluegills! Fantastic service!
