Fantastic day fishing!  Captain Dave knew where the fish were at!  He was prepared, made it fun for everyone and we ended up with 26 salmon!!

The Capt and his first mate Craig were great hosts. We had 2 younger kids (5&3) and they were very accommodating to them to make sure everyone had a great experience. They were highly knowledgeable about the lake and up us on good fish in 5 min. They had great sense of humor. Everything was punctual. We were able to catch several including a large Lake Trout which they helped my petite wife fight and bring in. Highly highly recommend will definitely be back!

Had a great time with Captain and his first mate Craig.  Both men are fully experienced in Salmon/Trout fishing.  While everybody knows sometimes fish are biting and sometimes they are not, these men do their best to try different techniques and baits to make it happen.  They are part of a community of other boats who communicate where the fish are biting to give those of us paying the best experience possible.  I’m an avid musky & pike fisherman so the hands on experience I fully enjoyed and truly learned new things from them.  Sit back and relax if you prefer them to do most of the work as they read through the digital graphs, or get involved, it’s up to you.  I forgot my GoPro camera on the boat and I live 2 hours away.  It took us a week to accomplish a meet up because our schedules are different, but it as safely returned.  I share this because these are trustworthy guys who truly enjoy catering to their guests while going fishing and get to Make some money in the process.  Thanks again for a full day!

Captain Daryl and First Mate Craig are top-notch! They were excellent at navigating the waters and hooking fish. Great boat and first-class equipment. We booked the 8-hour trip and caught plenty of silver and lakers. Beautiful day on the lake and a truly incredible experience. I would recommend Merganzer Fishing Charters to anyone, without hesitation. We’ll definitely be booking again soon!
