I have never been here, however; sometimes when I drive past somewhere Google will prompt me for a review and I usually... try to close it w.o one but apparently I accidentally left one for here. I hadn't realized it until someone reached out to see why the negative review. I apologize for the inconvenience and the mistaken review but I appreciate that you bothered to reach out to inquire. Thats great business etiquette.read more

I just had Troy rig up my boat with the electronics he uses daily on the water. His expertise has turned my boat... into a fish catching machine. Thanks for the professional job!read more

My friend and I had a great time with Troy fishing for white bass. He taught us how to fish flies and we caught more... than we wanted to clean! Not only did he teach us how to catch them he also taught us how to tie the fly rigs so that we could go out and repeat the process ourselves sometime! We had great conversation in the boat with him. All around a great time. Can't wait to book another trip with him sometime soon! I recommend him for any of your fishing needs from panfish to gamefish - he covers it all!read more

If you're new to the Winnebago System or want to learn more about how to fish it, this is definitely the guide you... would want to go with. Very impressed with the amount of knowledge and skilled Troy has, even in 30+ mph winds we we're still able to have a great day on the water and leave with a plentiful amount of fresh fish.read more

Troy, the owner, is professional and polite. He listened to my ideas, let me know what would work this time of year and... provided great communication. He showed up on time and was ready to go. We caught more fish than we could count (catch, photo, resuscitate, release) and almost got a bonus as a Muskee followed my wife's lure to the boat but didn't get hooked. We had a blast fishing with Troy! As a guy who has used many fishing guides in at least three states, Troy is excellent! When I'm back in the area, he is the guide I'm calling!read more

I have fished with Troy on several occasions. He is simply the best out there. He is extremely knowledgeable and works... his tail off even in the worst conditions. A very humble and patient person who is always striving to ensure you have a truly amazing fishing experience. I would highly recommend booking Troy for your next fishing trip.read more

Had a blast getting out one last time before the ice goes out. We caught a ton of fish thanks to Troy and his crew... continuously scouting while we were out there. A big thanks to Troy and Matt for the fishing knowledge and of course the fish.read more
