We had two days with Nate last weekend. Even in less than ideal conditions, he got us onto some great keeper walleye and northerns both days. I appreciate his hard work in scouting ahead of time and he was a blast to hang out with. Will definitely go again with him if back in the area!!

Butch as you might expect for a guide, was phenomenal. He contacted us the night before to make sure he had the appropriate bait and gear for what we wanted to do the next day. He was 15 minutes early at the ramp, and had everything ready. He was an easy conversationalist. He shared what he was thinking and what we were doing. He answered every question my group had, and provided education on how his equipment works and why he choose what he did for us on that particular day. I plan to have him take us out again in the future, if he has availability!! Oh, and yes we did catch fish, quite a few walleye, one of them a trophy

Can’t say enough good things about these guides. I have used Butch and Nate, as individuals and as a pair for larger groups. They meet you or pick you up on time, with all the gear and bait you need. They both communicate well with the client and truly want you to have a great day with your friends or family. Each of them will work hard and get to different spots if it isn’t happening. Fishing is never a guarantee ( weather, temperature, time of year) but if it is possible they will get you on the fish. They can coach the beginners with great advice and are there to assist experienced fisherman however or whenever needed. They work their butts off, please tip well !

Butch did excellent job finding the fish. His knowledge of the lakes, tackle, and presentation is priceless. To top it all off, he 's down to earth, funny, and enjoyable to fish with. Butch will be my guide for future trips. Thank you Butch, for putting us on the fish and for sharing your fishing knowledge. Kevin
