Coastal Fly Fishing Trips- April through June-
full day- $600 single, $700 for two,
half day- $400 single, $500 for two
Each spring as the North Shore rivers warm, a host of fish species gather at stream mouths where the warm river water mingles with the cold blue liquid of the big lake. Beautiful Kamloops rainbows, wild steelhead, the occasional lake trout, coho salmon, coaster brook trout, and large toothy line breaking northern pike can all be found when conditions are right. This menagerie of fish all have one thing in common, they are drawn to and held in the warming water to feed.
This will be the best time to fly fish with both single hand and two-handed rods. Swinging and stripping lightly weighted flys with floating or sink tip lines will be the prime tactic. Big streamers or clousers along with smaller buggy patterns will all work when placed in front of a fish in the right mood.
Best trip is an evening start to get the feel of casting with the following day an early morning outing. This Trip is counted as one day.
This is my favorite trip to guide.

The Brule- Mid April though early May, Mid September through October-
full day $500 single, $600 for two,
half day- $300 single, $400 for two
Wisconsin Brule River Steelhead trips offered are limited to April early May and October targeting moving fish. I don’t believe in harassing fish on spawning beds. I do straight-up fly fishing, no indicators or slinkys, if you find that hard to understand read about me. The only tricks, do-dads, and comprimises I use will be on your fly. I'll teach you how to catch steelhead swinging flies.
If you feel that you must use a bobber and split-shot or a slinky I'm not the guide for you because I'd want you to put mono and a spawn bag on as well.
A special lunch will always be provided at the Brule for full day trips.
The Brule is my favorite river.
