Testimonials
“My son and I have used Chad’s services many times. Always had a good time. Chad is great with kids and makes the whole outing fun. It’s nice having an expert lead the trip as it makes it so much more relaxing for me! I also had the best fishing day of my life, landing three Northern Pike over 30 inches. I will definitely be back!” – Jason S.
“I cannot adequately express how much fun I had with Chad ice fishing. It was quite cold outside but toasty inside which is important for a woman of a certain age like me! It was so enjoyable to learn all about ice fishing. Chad is a wonderful guide. And we were fortunate to have actually caught a fish. What an exhilarating feeling! Don’t miss this wonderful experience.” – Louanne H.
“I grew up fishing Midwest lakes and recently took up fly fishing but never in a million years did I think ice fishing would be something I’d enjoy. One trip with Chad and Kris changed my mind completely. Not only was the scenery spectacular, it was fun and rewarding to learn a new way to fish. Chad and Kris ensured that I was comfortable and taught me the tips and tricks I needed to land a fish through the ice. Such a memorable experience! Can’t wait to do it again.” – Christina W.
“I’ve fished with Chad several times over the years, summer and winter, and have always managed to catch amazing fish. He loves getting people onto fish and is probably more excited to see other people catching trophy fish than he is catching them himself. On top of catching fish, I am consistently learning about fishing from Chad. He loves to teach, whether about structure, behavior, physiology, Chad is a tremendous wealth of knowledge. Anybody can take somebody to spots where fish are, with Chad I always learn “the why” and that makes me a better fisherman.” – Kevin W.
“This past winter I had the opportunity to go ice fishing guided by Chad of Gunflint Wilderness Guide Service. All I can say is…wowsers! Although it was a bitterly cold day, my friend and I were toasty warm in the well-appointed fishing tent. We had a fabulous time learning about ice fishing, watching the fish swim around on Chad’s radar device, and catching the most delicious lake trout I’ve ever had! Topped off the experience with a bit of Baileys. A bucket list thing that I didn’t even know was ON my bucket list! Next winter, I’ll be bringing all my college friends up the Trail for another session. Highly recommend!!!” – Kim D.
Why hire a Guide?
A guide can help enrich your experience with local knowledge, recommend places off the beaten path, shorten the learning curve, help navigate complex permitting and regulations, provide an additional layer of safety, supply the appropriate gear, etc. Personally, we hire guides when we travel too, for all the reasons mentioned above!
