About Your Trip

Head out to chase trophy Musky with your pro guide Clayton. There are of 2500 lakes in Vilas, Oneida, and Forest Counties where Clayton 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, Clayton 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 Clayton you will be throwing a variety of blades, topwater, & jerkbaits, 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.

Clayton 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 Clayton will show you how to hook into some Musky!
