About Your Trip

Join Kyle for a fully guided float trip in search of river Muskie on some of Wisconsin’s most scenic and productive fisheries. This is Muskie fishing at its wildest—remote, immersive, and tailored to the day’s conditions.

Depending on water levels, weather, and where the bite is hottest, you’ll fish one of several legendary rivers, including the Chippewa River, Flambeau River State Forest, Eau Claire River, or Bad River. These waters offer incredible solitude and are packed with prime Muskie structure.

Start locations are flexible and chosen based on the day’s game plan. You’ll head out in either a stealthy Hooligan raft, classic Driftboat, or 18’ jet boat, depending on which river you’re fishing and the water conditions. These versatile vessels let you reach water other anglers simply can’t.

This trip is ideal for intermediate to advanced anglers. Whether you’re throwing big gear, twitching topwater baits, or casting flies, Kyle will have everything dialed. All rods, reels, and tackle are provided, and live bait is available for an additional fee—just let him know in advance.

Trips typically kick off around 7:00 AM and run 4 to 8 hours for up to two anglers. Feel free to bring beer (no glass bottles, please)—Kyle’s all about keeping things relaxed while chasing that fish of a lifetime.

Get ready to float through wild stretches of Wisconsin’s backcountry and throw down with the apex predator of the Northwoods. It’s Muskie mayhem, and you’re in good hands.
