Bass and summer run steelhead are in full swing, our temperatures have been soaring so we've focused more on fish health and quick safe releases instead of grip and grins lately! Top water and plastics have been hot for bass and typical steelhead gear for the skamania

Big hex flys are starting but the cool night temps have been keeping hatches slight, the best is yet to come on them as July heats up! Despite the hex flies trout fishing has been steady on both fly gear and conventional fishing. All of our warm water species are in full swing and fishing well

Fishing remains strong in NE Illinois. Limits of coho salmon and lake trout going home daily with our groups. As the summer warms up, the fish are getting bigger and the king salmon will start to show up soon!

    Trip: Sheboygan Lake Michigan Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Brian was a fantastic fishing guide. It was me and my two young boys and he did a great job of helping them out and moving around to find fish. Highlight was a 26 inch pike that my ten year old reeled in. Highly recommend and would use him again when in the area.
