  Incredible day on the water—Yaroslav goes above and beyond

  4 Hour Trip – Pike, Bass on September 19, 2026 • 2 adults

  Fished with Yaroslav and had an absolute blast. He did everything possible to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and on fish all day. His knowledge of the lake, local area, and fish behavior is top-notch. He kept us moving between the upper and lower lake, and we practically hit at every single spot he picked. We covered a variety of techniques and managed to land some solid bass, northern pike, and crappie. Even though the weather wasn't entirely cooperative for comfort, Yaroslav’s attentiveness, constant check-ins, and great conversation completely made up for it. He’s a fantastic guide who genuinely cares about his clients having a great experience. Highly recommend booking with him.

  Thanks again for coming out on Prior Lake this morning. You were fantastic customers, and I really enjoyed our conversations out on the water despite the weather. Catching pike, bass, and crappie was a great bonus. I hope we can go for ice fishing when you are available and catch more fish !!!

  More than just fishing on Lake Minnetonka

  MUSKY FISHING 4 HOURS on June 27, 2026 • 2 adults

  Fantastic experience with Captain Yaro at Lake Minnetonka! This trip was a gift for my dad, and it turned into a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment I booked, Yaro provided excellent and prompt communication. He made everything incredibly easy - from clear trip instructions to sharing parking lot Goggle Map links and even recommending specific brands of polarized sunglasses for the best experience. What I really appreciated was how effortless he made the entire trip. You literally just show up - the rest is taken care of. Captain Yaro provided all the fishing gear, rods, and equipment, making everything seamless and stress-free. We started right on time, and the atmosphere was friendly, relaxed, and welcoming. It was clear Yaro is a true local professional who knows both fishing and the lake exceptionally well. This experience turned into much more than just a fishing trip. It became an incredible tour of Lake Minnetonka, with stunning views, beautiful scenery, and great company throughout the journey. It felt like the perfect combination of fishing, sightseeing, and simply enjoying a wonderful day on the water. ⭐️ Highly recommend Captain Yaro to anyone looking for an outstanding fishing experience in Minnesota. Excellent customer service from start to finish. Perfect as a gift or for a memorable outing with family or friends!

  What a great Saturday!

  MUSKY FISHING 4 HOURS on June 6, 2026 • 1 adult

  Excellent day of fishing! Yaro was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Not only did he guide me to great fishing spots, but he also shared interesting facts about the lake as we cruised across it. We caught all kinds of fish, and I enjoyed every minute of it. He was always paying attention to my rods and lures, making sure I had the best chance to catch fish—and it worked! The boat is extremely comfortable, and honestly, you don’t need to bring a thing. He takes care of everything. Highly recommended!

  Hey Brent, thanks again for booking that trip yesterday! I had an awesome time out on the water with you and your friend. Those six pikes and three bass made for a great haul, especially with the water temp being as warm as it was. I really hope I get the chance to guide you again in the future we will try to go to Minnetonka Lake. Have a great work week. See you later.
