Wisconsin Smallmouth Bass
Upper Wisconsin River Smallmouth Bass Guided Trips
We specialize in topwater lure and fly fishing for trophy smallmouth bass on the Upper Wisconsin and Tomahawk River near Lake Nokomis, Wisconsin. Our focus on topwater presentations creates exciting visual strikes, setting us apart from other guides. While smallmouth bass are our main target, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, and Muskie are also commonly caught. When necessary, we adapt to subsurface fishing, but topwater remains our preferred method for monster smallmouth action.
