Lakes We Fish...

I fish nearly every day during the open water season. Choice of lake that we will fish on largely depends on what type of fishing you are looking for (casting vs. row trolling, your first legal musky vs. a trophy fish, etc.).  Weather conditions and current fishing patterns will also help determine lake choice.  If you are vacationing at a resort and wish to get a strong foothold on the lake you will be staying on we can certainly fish there.

Here's a photo of one of my favorite customers, 86 year old Henry Frankel.  One October he was getting ready to head back south for the winter and he was lamenting that he had not caught a nice sized fish yet this season.  I had been having great success row trolling that week and he decided to go out with me before he left.  The day was cold and extremely windy but we caught this nice 41"er only 20 minutes into the outing.  When I'm 86 years old, I want to be out chasing 'skies yet, too!

Lakes I know very well:

• The Eagle River Chain of Lakes
• The Three Lakes Chain of Lakes
• North and South Twin
• Kentuck
• North Nokomis
• Lake Tomahawk
• Plum
• Star
• Long Lake (Vilas Co.)
• Buckatabons
• Seven Mile
• Lac Vieux Desert
• many small "area" lakes

Clients Should Bring...

• A good attitude!!!
• Seasonally appropriate clothing (you can always take off layers!)
• waterproof boots if applicable (I recommend Wolverines)
• Mittens/gloves/handwarmers if it is cold out
• Rowing gloves (work gloves are fine) to keep your hands from getting blisters
• A fishing license
• Rain gear
• Sunscreen
• Hat
• Polarized sunglasses (I have extra Costa Del Mars if you forget)
• Camera (this is optional since I will provide you with a photo of your catch off of my
• digital camera)
• Munchies and beverages: Be sure to pack extra water to drink. Row trolling makes you incredibly hungry!! (You also have the option of ordering a box lunch ahead of time from me.)
• We will make comfort stops as needed.

Fishing in Minnesota and Canada...
          I venture up to Minnesota and Canada several times each year, participating in Women on the Water Fishing Schools. If you are interested in experiencing the pristine waters of "the bush"-as well as incredible world class fishing-please check out the Women on the Water page for full itinerary.
