About Your Guide

Jonny Gettle

Independent Guide
Captain Jonny has spent more than 30 years fishing the lakes surrounding Hayward, Wisconsin, developing an intimate understanding of the area's diverse fisheries along the way. Fishing runs deep in his family, with more than 75 years of combined family experience on the waters of Wisconsin's Northwoods.

Jonny guides anglers across Lost Land and Teal Lakes, Round Lake, the Spider Lake Chain, Windigo Lake, Lac Courte Oreilles, Big Sissabagama, and numerous smaller lakes throughout the Hayward area. He targets everything from Panfish and Bass to the area's larger gamefish and understands that every lake requires its own approach.

For Jonny, guiding is about more than simply catching fish. He enjoys sharing the techniques, productive structure, and local knowledge he's accumulated over decades on the water so his guests leave as better and more confident anglers.

He welcomes anglers of all ages and experience levels aboard his 18.5' Ranger 185VS powered by a 150HP Yamaha VMAX. Whether you're a seasoned fisherman, visiting the Hayward area for the first time, or bringing the kids out to build some Northwoods fishing memories, Jonny...

About Your Trip

Spend a day exploring the beautiful lakes of Hayward, Wisconsin with Captain Jonny, a local guide bringing more than 30 years of fishing knowledge to the water. Whether you're introducing the kids to fishing, looking to put some fish in the boat, or hoping to learn more about these Northwoods lakes, Jonny will tailor the trip to your group and the conditions.

Depending on the season and what's biting, you'll target a variety of Panfish
and Bass while fishing lakes throughout the Hayward area. Jonny guides Lost Land and Teal Lakes, Round Lake, the Spider Lake Chain, Windigo Lake, Lac Courte Oreilles, Big Sissabagama, and a number of smaller local waters. With so many options nearby, he can choose the lake and tactics that give your group a great opportunity for a productive day.

You'll fish aboard Jonny's 18.5' Ranger 185VS powered by a 150HP Yamaha VMAX. It's a comfortable and capable setup for exploring the lakes of Northern Wisconsin and getting you where the fish are.

One of Jonny's favorite parts of guiding is sharing the techniques and knowledge he's built over decades on these waters. Every lake fishes a little differently, and he'll help you understand structure, fish-holding areas, presentations, and tactics that you can take with you on future trips.

Rod and reels, tackle, life jackets, bottled water, and snacks are provided. Just bring a valid Wisconsin fishing license, weather-appropriate clothing, and rain gear. Anglers of all experience levels are welcome, and Jonny especially enjoys helping families and younger anglers build memories on the water.

Whether you have a few hours to fish or want to spend the entire day exploring the Northwoods, Captain Jonny has you covered. Come enjoy the scenery, wildlife, and fishing that make Hayward such a special place to wet a line!
