Minnesota's Premier River Fishing Guide

- Trips available June - December -

As the top predator in our rivers, the Musky is an incredibly exciting and challenging species to pursue. With both fly fishing and conventional tackle, you can expect heart pounding follows next to the boat, explosive strikes and if everything goes right, a fish of a lifetime in the net. Our rivers provide a unique opportunity to target relatively unpressured fish that rarely see baits or other boat traffic, while still having opportunities at fish well over the 50" mark!

Fishing Styles and Techniques

Throughout the year, Musky fishing styles can range from stripping flies, casting bucktails and topwaters, dragging live suckers, and pulling big rubber baits in the fall. Your best chances at a fish are June through early October. Late October through December provide some of the best opportunities for a true fish of a lifetime. 

- Trips available Mid May - September - 

An eager and thrilling species to target in our rivers, the Smallmouth Bass fights hard and is more than willing to take a wide range of presentations. Smallmouth are a fantastic option for serious anglers looking to see a new way of targeting these fish, as well as complete beginners looking to learn the ins and outs of river fishing. Average days produce 40+ fish in the boat, and opportunities at fish in the 6lb range!

Fishing Styles and Techniques

Smallmouth bass river fishing throughout the year provides several unique patterns that we target. Early season (mid May -  early June) produces the heaviest fish of the year, with possible chances at 7lb fish. Summer (mid June - September) is the most productive time of year for numbers of fish, with a wide variety of possible techniques and patterns.
