positive review  Fantastic experience. They supply the gear, bait, and a very nice boat to fish from. Our guide Brad was excellent and between my wife and I we caught over 50 channel catfish, 30 of them being master anglers. Highly recommend.

Donovan put us on the fish & moved us if the bite died off. He drilled lots of holes to help us follow the fish. Two of the three in our group caught our person best fish! My husband, dad, and I have been on several guided fishing trips to Mexico, Las Vegas, Lake of the Woods, Devil’s Lake, and Montana to name a few. This was by far our best guided trip. We are already looking into booking for next year! Thanks for a great experience on Lake Winnipeg!
