Custom Brown Trout & Pike Fishing Adventure
Ready for a fishing trip that's all about you? Our 6-hour custom charter is the real deal. We're talking prime time on the water, kicking off at 6 AM when the fish are biting. For $600, you and three buddies can craft the perfect day chasing brown trout and northern pike. We've got the local know-how, you bring the wishlist. Whether you're after monster browns or toothy pike, we'll put you on the hotspots. And with free cancellation up to a week out, you can lock in your date worry-free. Let's get you hooked up!
What's the Deal?
Here's the scoop on your custom fishing trip. We're hitting the water at first light, when the big ones are most active. You've got the boat for 6 solid hours, plenty of time to work different spots and techniques. Our seasoned guides know these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll chat about what you're after and make it happen. Want to focus on trophy browns? No problem. Prefer to mix it up with some pike action? We've got you covered. It's your day, your way. And with room for four, you can bring the whole crew or spread out for maximum casting room.
Rods, Reels, and Hotspots
We're geared up and ready to roll with top-notch equipment suited for whatever's biting. For those browns, we might be drifting flies, trolling spoons, or working the shoreline with crankbaits. When it comes to pike, we could be tossing big spinners or working weedlines with jerkbaits. The beauty of a custom trip is we can switch it up on the fly. Maybe start with some finesse fishing for trout, then switch to heavy tackle when a pike follows your catch to the boat. We'll read the water, check the conditions, and put you where the action is. And don't worry if you're new to these techniques - we're here to show you the ropes and help you land that wall-hanger.
Fish Tales and Bragging Rights
Our custom trips are all about creating those "you should've been there" stories. Picture yourself battling a chunky brown trout as it leaps clear of the water, or the adrenaline rush when a pike slams your lure right at the boat. These are the moments that keep anglers coming back year after year. Whether you're looking to beat your personal best, introduce the kids to fishing, or just enjoy a day on the water with friends, we're here to make it happen. And hey, if you want to try for a mixed bag of species, we can do that too. Walleye, smallmouth bass, rainbow trout - they're all fair game on our custom charters.
The Local Lineup
Let's talk about the stars of the show - the fish you'll be chasing on this trip. Each species brings its own challenge and excitement to the table.
Brown Trout: These guys are the smart ones of the bunch. They're wary, strong fighters, and can grow to impressive sizes in our waters. Spring and fall are prime times for trophy browns, but they're catchable year-round if you know where to look. They love to hang out near structure and drop-offs, so we'll be targeting those spots. Landing a big brown is a real accomplishment - they don't come easy, but man, are they worth it.
Northern Pike: If you're after a fish with attitude, pike are your target. These toothy predators are ambush hunters, often lurking in weedbeds or near drop-offs. They'll hit lures with explosive strikes that'll get your heart racing. Spring and early summer are great for numbers, while fall can produce some real giants. Pike fishing is all about big lures, stout tackle, and quick reflexes when they decide to bite.
Walleye: The gold standard for eating fish, walleye are popular for good reason. They're challenging to catch, put up a good fight, and taste amazing. We typically target them in deeper water using jigs or live bait rigs. Dawn and dusk are prime walleye times, so our early start gives us a great shot at these tasty fish.
Smallmouth Bass: Pound for pound, smallies are some of the hardest fighting fish in freshwater. They love rocky areas and will hit a variety of lures. The action can be fast and furious when you find a school. Summer is prime time for smallmouth, but they're active most of the year.
Rainbow Trout: Often stocked in our waters, rainbows are a blast to catch on light tackle. They're acrobatic fighters known for their aerial displays when hooked. We can target them with flies, small lures, or even bait depending on your preference. Rainbows are great for anglers of all skill levels, from beginners to experts.

Brown Trout
Brown trout are wary predators, typically 12-20 inches long and weighing 1-4 pounds, with some monsters pushing 10+. You'll find them in cool, clear streams and rivers, often tucked under cut banks or near submerged logs. Fall is prime time, as browns get aggressive before spawning. Anglers chase these trout for their challenging nature and hard fights. They're also excellent table fare. Browns are most active in low light, so focus on early mornings, evenings, or overcast days. If you're targeting them, try swinging a streamer through deep pools and undercut banks. It's a deadly technique, especially for bigger fish. Remember, browns are easily spooked, so a stealthy approach is crucial. Matching your flies to local insects and using lighter tippets can make all the difference when pursuing these clever trout.
Northern Pike
Northern pike are toothy predators, typically 24-30 inches long and weighing 3-10 pounds, with monsters pushing 20+. You'll find them in cool, weedy lakes and slow-moving rivers, often lurking near weed edges or fallen trees. Spring and fall are prime seasons, as pike move shallow to feed. Anglers target these fish for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights. They're also good eating when prepared right. Pike are most active in cooler water, so focus on early mornings or overcast days. If you're after them, try casting large spoons or inline spinners near weed beds. It's a killer technique, especially in the shallows during spring. Remember, pike have razor-sharp teeth, so wire leaders are a must. When you hook one, keep your fingers away from its mouth during release - these guys can leave a mark!
Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout are colorful beauties, typically 12-20 inches long and weighing 1-5 pounds. You'll find them in cool, clear streams and lakes, often near riffles or pools with good cover. Spring and fall are prime seasons, as water temperatures are ideal for feeding. Anglers love 'bows for their acrobatic fights and their willingness to take flies. They're also delicious when fresh from cold water. Rainbows are most active in the morning and evening, especially on overcast days. If you're after them, try drifting a small nymph under an indicator through likely holding spots. It's a deadly technique, especially when matched to the local insect life. Remember, rainbows can be leader-shy in clear water, so go with lighter tippet when possible. A stealthy approach and a good drift are often the keys to success with these tricky trout.
Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass, aka "bronzebacks," are scrappy fighters averaging 1-4 pounds. You'll find them in clear, cool waters with rocky or gravelly bottoms. They love hanging around structure like submerged logs, boulders, and drop-offs. Spring and fall are prime seasons, as smallies move shallow to feed. Anglers chase these bass for their acrobatic fights - they'll leap clear out of the water when hooked. They're also excellent table fare. Smallmouth are most active in low light, so early mornings and evenings are your best bet. If you're targeting them, try working a tube jig slowly along the bottom near rocky points or shoals. It's a killer technique, especially when the water's cooling down in fall. Remember, smallmouth are wary, so a stealthy approach is key to success.
Walleye
Walleye are sneaky predators, typically 15-30 inches long and weighing 2-10 pounds. You'll find them in deep, cool waters during the day, moving to shallows at night to hunt. They love hanging around structure like rocks, weed edges, and drop-offs. Fall's a great time to target walleye, as they feed heavily before winter. Anglers prize them for their tasty white flesh and the challenge they present. These fish have excellent low-light vision, making dawn and dusk prime fishing times. If you're after walleye, try slow-trolling with a bottom bouncer and nightcrawler harness. It's a deadly technique, especially along underwater points and ledges. Remember, walleye aren't known for their fighting ability, but their subtle bites and delicious flavor make them a favorite catch.
