Explore the Brainerd lakes areas remote lakes and rivers like the Mississippi, Cuyuna mine pits and many other quiet secluded lakes for small mouth bass, pike, crappie, carp and a chance at a muskie.

  • Specializing in fly fishing adventures. I start in on open water right after ice out for crappies and hard fighting carp on the fly.
  • When pike/trout opens it's to the mine pits for a chance at some monster pike and some great trout fishing. 
  • Then bass opens small mouth being my favorite target.
  • I will be chasing muskie also. (I do not claim to be a muskie guide yet but do know some good spots so on a bass or pike trip the big sticks will be available to throw around.)
  • When the conditions are right cat fishing on the river is a blast.
  • All open water trips can be done with fly, spinning or bait casting gear. I will supply or bring your own.
  • Canoe and Kayak trips also available.
  • Winter fishing available in private or group trips.
  • Always keep an eye on Pequot, Brainerd and Crosby community education flyers for youth group trips.
