About Your Trip

Head out to chase trophy Musky with your pro guide Josh. There are of 2500 lakes in Vilas, Oneida, and Forest Counties where josh likes to fish, the majority of which hold musky! Thus there are a lot of different places you can go depending on what your looking for. If your looking to catch you first musky, or looking for numbers, Josh will take you to the Eagle River chain of lakes. This is the world's largest chain of lakes with 28 different lakes all connected and accessible without getting out of the boat.

With Josh you will mostly be throwing Bucktails and Spinners, and out on the Eagle River chain of lakes, you are guaranteed to at least have chance at catching one or have a musky chase your bait. Musky are called the fish of 10000 casts because they are so elusive and smart.

Josh will provide everything you'll need for a succesful day out on the water from all the Rods, reels and tackle. All you need to bring is a valid WI fishing license, your weather appropriate gear, sunglasses, and your A game and Josh will show you how to hook into some Musky!

If you're looking for an exciting fishing trip on the Eagle River filled led by local knowledge, you can't go wrong with Josh his team! The experienced guide staff lead by Josh live locally within the Eagle River Chain of Lakes and fish the waters in and around Northern Wisconsin year round.

In addition, Josh specifically studied fisheries and water resources at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, so he has a very deep scientific understanding of the health of the Northern Wisconsin lakes, and what habitats make for good productive fishing.

Josh's goal is not just to catch fish, but to ensure that his customers have a quality fishing experience for reasonable rates. On his trips, Josh shares his knowledge of the local lakes, fishing techniques, and the secrets that locals like Josh and his team use to catch quality fish!

As a local guide service, Josh and his team try and differentiate themselves in building his staff from full time fishing guides, for whom guiding fishing trips isn't just a summer job, but a year round job as well as their passion. His team is also extremely flexible, with knowledge of numerous lakes all across Northern Wisconsin. They also have considerable experience fishing in other parts of the United States, and can tailor a fishing experience to meet any of your needs.

While no guide can guarantee you'll catch fish, Josh and his team will significantly increase your odds of landing a quality fish and ensure that no matter what you'll have a wonderful experience and memories that last a lifetime!
