Musky Guide

[Stu]

I'm planning a trip up to Minnesota or Wisconsin this year. I only have time for 3-4 days of fishing. I was checking out some of the guides on the Musky Hunter website. The rates run from $150 - $600 per day. I don't mind spending around $300 but $600 seems kinda high. Do you guys have any advice? How much does the average guide run? How is trophy fishing in the spring? I'm planning on going in June but I could make it later. Some of the guides offer a guaratee to catch fish or the next trip is free (this guy charges about $600 per day). Thanks in advance - Stu

I would recomend the living legend Al Maass I have heard nothing but the best about him he fishes Leach Lake and surronding lakes or cotact the leach lake guide coalition all good guys I think in the price range you are talking I have friends that have fished with Al and had a great time I have not yet had a chance to fish with him hopefully this summer

Here is the name and number of another Leech Lake guide. He is also very good. Jeff Woodruff 218 547 1405

I would recommend Mr Woodruff, great guys. But if your truly after a big fish, I would go with Gregg Thomas on Mill Lacs, you will have a trip of lifetime, with big fish. On average you are going to spend $250 a day for a guide.

Good luck

If you are coming to Northern Wisconsin, Rob Manthei is the guide you want to hire for muskies. He is awesome, one of the best around

If you don't feel like driving all that way, stay here in Illinois and come fish with me. Contact me at dalecrain@hotmail.com

I think you'll find a wide variance in pricing depending on the area and the guides reputation. Here in Vilas county most guides are running in the $275-350 range with most probably around $300.

My experience with guides in northern Wisconsin is exactly what Pete Stoltman indicated. $275 to $350 with $300 being average price.
