STREAMER SLINGIN’

Are you ready to elevate your streamer game for trout? Are you really sure? The big fish pursuit is much more than the weight in the net. It’s the hours of grinding it out through the silt bottoms for that chance to witness a rare predator t-bone it’s next meal, to fool the wise, and to develop the skills and focus that makes it all possible. Here, the details matter. We’ll teach you how to stack the odds in your favor and explain how to transfer your techniques to other watersheds.

Trophy trout trips are offered in limited quantity and by interview only. Limited bookings and flexible scheduling ensure we embark under good conditions in targeting these fish. To be sure, this is a boutique experience not offered anywhere else in Wisconsin. Candidates are expected to hold their own with traditional fly gear; prime time is not the time for casting lessons. So, get those legs in shape, bring a camera and lots of water, and get ready to meet the fish of the season.

Depending on the location selected, clients may expect a full day of wading or transportation via canoe.
