About Your Trip
For Starters
I’ll meet you at the dock fresh, ready, and motivated to help you have a successful time on the water. I’m driven to help guests catch their first, their biggest, or their most. All my knowledge and experience is available to share with guests. During an action-packed day spent meeting your goals (hopefully), you’ll learn more about:
- Patterns
- Seasonal trends
- Boat control
- Habitat identification
- Presentation
- Anything else you want to know – my playbook is open
Whether you’re just starting out or have decades of experience, we’ll customize your trip to best suit your experience level and goals.
*100% Catch and Release is practiced. I recommend a replica from Fittante Taxidermy or a very cool and very affordable life-sized photo from Customfish.com.
Full Day Trip
Would you feel cheated to spend big money for a guide, only to be limited to eight or ten hours on the water? Would you feel like the meter is running while you’re out? I won’t run a guide trip like that. Fish with me and you’ll get all you can handle – that’s why the name is Enduro Guide Service. We’ll fish twelve or more hours, pretty much all you can handle, and typically hit three prime times.
1/2 Day Night Trip
After sunset is when the most exciting and most productive part of the day begins. A typical night trip begins around 7pm and ends around 1am. The actual times are flexible depending on sunset, moon rise/set, majors/minors, and your schedule. You’ll learn enough to go out and do it yourself the next night.
Flyfishing
Fly-Rodding for muskies is as exciting as it gets. Flyfishing is seldom the most effective or most efficient way to pursue musky, but a musky on a fly is the biggest adrenaline rush in freshwater angling. Flyfishing is an option for the spot-on-the-spot locations, or when returning to a fish that was located earlier in the day. I have 9 wt. and 10 wt. rods and a box of flies in the boat at all times for anyone who wants to give it a try.
I Provide.....
- Rods, Reels and Tackle – I’ll provide all the gear you’ll need. Top-of-the-line custom rods by Thorne Brothers and Professional Edge, Shimano Calcutta TE and Garcia 7000 reels, and a mountain of baits are all provided.
- Boat – You’ll fish with me from a Ranger 620 with Yamaha motor, Minn-Kota troller, and the best Lowrance electronics with map chips. The boat has a custom-made casting deck extension to offer plenty of room for two at the bow.
- Photos – I’ll share all my digital photos of your catch.
You Bring.....
- Raingear (rain or shine)
- Polarized sunglasses
- Current Minnesota license
- Clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather
- Food and beverages (there’s also lunch or dinner options on the lake)
