Eau Claire, Wisconsin is home to some of the most diverse fly fishing to be found in the world.

And of course, this is the epicenter of American musky fly fishing.

ADVENTURES

FLOAT FOR SMALLMOUTH

unnamed-4 (1).jpg

SMALLMOUTH BASS ARE QUITE SIMPLY THE PERFECT FISH FOR THE FLY ANGLER. THEY ARE AGGRESSIVE, VORACIOUS, AND FIGHT LIKE NO OTHER FRESHWATER FISH. WE LOVE THEM. 

​

WE FISH FOR SMALLMOUTH OUT OF A WESTERN-STYLE DRIFT BOAT. 6-8 WEIGHT RODS AND FLOATING LINES ARE THE TOOLS OF THE GAME. THE BEST MONTHS TO CHASE SMALLIES IN WISCONSIN ARE MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, AND SEPTEMBER. UNLIKE MOST FLY FISHING SPECIES, SMALLMOUTH LOVE HOT WEATHER, MAKING MID SUMMER PRIME TIME. 

​

IF YOU'VE NEVER FLY FISHED FOR SMALLMOUTH, YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON ONE OF THE MOST FUN EXPERIENCES YOU CAN HAVE WITH A FLY ROD. WE WOULD LOVE TO HOOK YOU UP! 

FLOAT FOR MUSKIES

THE MUSKY IS THE WISCONSIN STATE FISH. WE UNDERSTAND WHY. FOR THE FRESHWATER ANGLER, THERE IS NO GREATER CHALLENGE. MUSKIES MAKE YOU WORK AND WILL NOT COME EASY. 

​

WE TAKE IMMENSE PRIDE IN BEING KNOWN AS ONE OF THE FINEST MUSKY FLY FISHING GUIDING COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES. 

​

THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES IN MUSKY FISHING. MUSKIES ARE FAR FROM A SURE THING, BUT WE CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT THE RIVERS WITHIN AN HOUR OF US ARE AS GOOD AS IT GETS IN THE UNITED STATES. WE FISH FOR THESE FISH AS HARD AS ANYONE AND HAVE A SOLID TRACK RECORD OF LANDING MUSKIES. IF YOU ARE UP TO THE CHALLENGE, WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU. JUNE, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER ARE PRIME MUSKY MONTHS. 

WADE FOR TROUT

TROUT FISHING IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN FOR US. QUITE SIMPLY, WE BELIEVE THAT A DAY FISHING FOR TROUT IS SOMETHING CLOSE TO MAGICAL. LUCKILY, WE LIVE IN WESTERN WISCONSIN, HOME TO HUNDREDS OF MILES OF BLUE RIBBON TROUT WATER. 

​

WITH OVER 55 YEARS OF TROUT FLY FISHING EXPERIENCE BETWEEN US, WE FEEL CONFIDENT IN OUR ABILITY TO HELP YOU BECOME A BETTER TROUT ANGLER. IF YOU ARE NEW TO FLY FISHING, WE CAN TAKE YEARS OFF THE LEARING CURVE IN A SINGLE DAY ON THE RIVER. 

​

APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER ARE TRADITIONALLY THE BEST MONTHS FOR TROUT FISHING IN WISCONSIN. HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT A TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING SPECIAL, CONSIDER A DAY ON THE RIVER IN THE WINTER.
