  Great Guide & Beautiful Scenery

  Trophy Lake Trout Twin Lakes on July 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  Ben was extremely knowledgeable, patient, great with my daughter and laser focused on catching fish. His 20ft boat was roomy and outfitted with the lastest tech for boat control and fish finding. We only caught one, but mackinaw in July are phinicky biters requiring significant finess and skill (so I learned). However, Ben clearly did the best with what nature gave us. We missed five, some our fault, some to bad luck. If I were to book again, I'd aim for just after ice off or just before ice on when they are a little more aggressive. Again, still a fun time and I learnd a lot about mackinaw. My only observed area for improvement was the equipment/tackle condition and boat orgnization. One pole had a broken tip and the other spinning reel only worked as right-hand reel. He also noticed one reel wasn't spooled full, but didn't have any line to remedy it. I don't think it truly affected results but just one "attention-to-detail" thing I noted. I would definitely book again and recommend Ben for Twin Lakes.

  Great time catching Rainbows with Eric

  Action Trout 11 mile, Turquoise on July 20, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We went out on 11 Mile 7/20/26, and had an amazing time. The bite started out rough, but Eric kept changing presentations and soon enough we started slamming Rainbows. He also spent time teaching my 16 year old some tips and tricks. Good dude, and we will definitely book with this charter again next time we're in the area.

  Great surprise Fathers Day trip!!

  Action Trout 11 mile, Turquoise on June 19, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  Our family had such a great trip. We caught the max amount of fish & was able to catch & release so many more. Our guide Eric knew where the best fishing areas were & did a great job at what he does. You can tell he loves his job 💕

  Big Trout. Big Knowledge. Great Time.

  Trophy Lake Trout Twin Lakes on February 21, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had an absolute blast on this charter! The captain had top-of-the-line equipment, everything was set up perfectly, and you could tell he really knew the lake inside and out. His knowledge and experience made all the difference he consistently put us right on big lake trout. It was an awesome experience from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the ice. Highly recommend!
