About Your Trip
Kurt specializes in guided flyfishing trips on some of the most productive waters in the Lower 48. There are so many fish in the fall and winter months that these trips are much more about enjoying your time on the water, with good company, the fish will follow suit!
Where
... Read More you'll be fishing depends on the water conditions and the time of year. Kurt and his team will do their best to personalize your trip and meet any specific needs you may have. Water conditions and especially rainfall have a huge impact on how the fish move and what tributaries will be fishing best luckily for you, Kurt and all his guides personally fish these waters daily and stay on top of fish movements and water conditions to ensure you're fishing the best water.
To that end, Captain Kurt has access to a lot of private water sections that are well worth the additional fee when conditions are correct. These leases and properties he uses provide you with access to unpressured water, which means fewer to no other fishermen and more aggressive fish! Options like this will be discussed in the days leading up to trip, and as I mentioned, though there may be a small additional rod fee for these sections it is well worth it!
Guided steelhead trips are 1 or 2 people per guide. We also specialize in hosting larger fishing groups (i.e. fly fishing clubs, corporate outings, etc.)
You'll need to bring your waders, and Kurt highly recommends you test them for cracks and holes before you bring them along! Also bring rain gear and multiple layers (gloves and winter caps if the weather suggests), sunglasses, and your own fly gear if you'd like. Kurt will have rods rigged and ready to go and will supply all the flies, but loves when his clients bring their own gear as well!

All I can say is WOW! My family and I were accustomed to taking a week off and flying to Canada for some legendary fishing experiences. With my first grandchild now only 7 months old we had to change our plans and look for somewhere a bit more civilized. We
...Read More were concerned that by choosing a charter near a town offering basic amenities and medical services we would compromise the quality of the fishing experience. Boy were we wrong. The combination of Lake Erie’s spectacular fishery and Captain Kurts competency created a fishing experience that was nothing short of amazing. Captain Kurt knew how to get on the fish and his hard working first mate made the time on the lake enjoyable, as well as prolific. Catching Limit after limit of walleye along with some wall mounters made this trip a memory of a lifetime. I would recommend this charter only to my best of friends or family.
