About Your Trip

Experience some of Wisconsin's finest freshwater fishing with Ryan on a fully guided trip exploring the lakes and rivers surrounding Wisconsin Rapids. With thousands of acres of productive water nearby, each outing is customized to current conditions, allowing Ryan to choose the destination that offers the best opportunity to target active fish. Depending on the season, you may find yourself casting on waters like Lake Wazeecha, Lake Nepco, Big Camelot, Lake Sherwood, Big St. Germain, the Wisconsin River, or another local favorite known for producing quality fish.

This trip is ideal for anglers of every experience level. Whether you're hoping to catch your first walleye, introduce your family to fishing, or spend the day chasing northern pike and crappie, Ryan will tailor the experience to your goals. Throughout the day, he'll share local techniques, explain how changing weather and seasonal patterns influence fish behavior, and help you improve your presentation so you're always fishing confidently.

Target species may include walleye, northern pike, crappie, bluegill, bass, trout, and channel catfish depending on the time of year and the body of water selected. Rather than sticking to a single lake, Ryan adjusts each trip to maximize your opportunities, giving you the flexibility to fish wherever conditions are most favorable.

All standard fishing equipment, including rods, reels, tackle, and bait, is provided, so there's no need to bring your own gear unless you have a favorite setup you'd like to use. Just purchase a valid Wisconsin fishing license if you're 16 or older, pack weather-appropriate clothing, snacks, and drinks, and Ryan will take care of the rest.

Half-day and full-day trips are available, giving you the flexibility to fit a guided fishing adventure into any schedule. Whether you're looking to learn new techniques, spend quality time with family and friends, or simply enjoy a relaxing day exploring Wisconsin's outstanding fisheries, Ryan will work hard to provide a memorable experience from the first cast to the last.

How did you get started guiding?

I always had a passion for fishing so I figured I'd love to share my expertise with clients and give them the best experience possible.

What makes you different from other guides?

I will go the extra mile to put you on fish, I usually fish 45 minutes to an hour past out time. I'm willing to share all information possible to make sure you leave with more experience than you came with. I am also the only guide in my area that offers a guarantee. That's is I guarantee you'll catch fish or your next trip is free.
