About Your Trip

Get ready for the ultimate ice fishing adventure on the Fox Chain O’Lakes with Trevor and his handpicked team of expert guides! As the premier outfitter for Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, Trevor has spent over a decade perfecting the art of delivering top-tier ice fishing trips. Designed with seasoned anglers in mind, this experience promises an unforgettable day of hardwater action, with a special emphasis on targeting the crown jewel of these waters: walleye.

Your journey begins at a prearranged launch, where late-model snowmobiles and ATVs will shuttle you to your heated ice house. When you arrive, everything will be set up and ready to go, from pre-drilled holes to premium rods and reels. Your guide will greet you on-site, introduce you to the area, and familiarize you with the equipment and techniques you’ll be using throughout the day. Every trip is tailored to meet your specific needs, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.

Once you’re on the ice, it’s time to get down to business. Your primary mission? Hooking into the prized walleye that make the Fox Chain O’Lakes a true bucket-list destination for ice anglers. Known for their sharp, aggressive bites and thrilling fights, walleye are the ultimate target, and your guide will fine-tune your approach to maximize your chances of success. Whether you’re jigging with precision or watching for that heart-pounding flag pop on the tip-ups, every moment is designed to bring you closer to landing a trophy.

While walleye are the focus of this trip, the Fox Chain O’Lakes is also home to a variety of other species that will keep the action going all day long. From trophy bluegill and crappie to jumbo perch, catfish, and northern pike, there’s no shortage of opportunities to reel in an impressive haul. That said, make no mistake – walleye are the star of the show, and your guide will put every bit of their expertise to work to help you land these elusive fish.

Looking to take your experience to the next level? Lunch and lodging can be arranged upon request, ensuring you’re fully fueled and rested for your day on the ice.

When fishing wraps up, the adventure isn’t over just yet. Your guide will assist with fish cleaning and can offer recommendations for dining, shopping, or other recreational activities in the area. They’ll also happily answer any lingering questions to ensure your day ends on a high note.

This is more than just an ice fishing trip – it’s a first-class experience tailored for serious anglers looking to conquer the frozen waters of the Fox Chain O’Lakes. Bring your cold-weather gear, favorite snacks, and a passion for walleye fishing, and let Trevor and his expert team take care of the rest.
