About Your Trip

This trip is wade fishing or drift fishing only with artificial lures. My wade fishing trips are typically a 4-5hr trip for a half day. Clients bring their own rod, reel and waders if needed.
I can provide wade boxes and lures. My personal rods are available with a deposit that is non refundable if the reel touches the water.
We will start our morning with a short boat ride to a flat or back lake to locate fish. I will help teach you how to attack an area with the wind, structure and how to present the bait to fish. I love to teach new anglers and experienced waders alike.
After fishing we will head back in where I will clean your catch for the day if you choose to keep some for dinner.

Hi, My name is Capt. Cory. I have been in the outdoor industry since i was a child. I started guiding at 16 as well as working law enforcement. I now guide full time and love to show my clients to a good time and teach them how to read the water. Lets go get some rods bent and have a good day on the water.

I booked this trip for my husband and my son and I have to say we are very disappointed after spending $700 and neither caught a fish. We came, we saw, and we would not do it again!

Response from Cory:

I'm sorry you feel that way. Fishing is not just about catching. I try to teach and get all of my clients to enjoy the whole experience. That being said, they had opportunities the day of the trip and just were not able to capitalize on it and get the fish to the boat. I can't catch them all for you. I worked hard for your husband and son and they hooked into a few...

I can't catch them all for you. I worked hard for your husband and son and they hooked into a few that we didn't land. I don't feel I deserve 1 star due to their inexperience. Again...im sorry you feel you didn't get what you paid for.

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hey there, we are very sorry to hear that this experience did not live up to your family's expectations. Captain Cory did his very best to help them land a some fish and provide instruction along the way. That being said, it's extremely frustrating to come up short. Please give our team a call; we would love to match your husband and son with another guide so they can try again!
