Our Packages

WHAT'S A DAY LOOK LIKE

WHAT'S A DAY LOOK LIKE

DUSK AND DAWN 

Our most popular "summer" package as fishing is always best early and late in the day, plus avoiding the heat of the day is a real bonus. Later afternoon until near dark on day one and sunrise until later morning on day two provides a great option to see the best fishing, avoid the heat of the day, and makes for a perfect one night Driftless getaway. 

One Person - $315 

Two People $350


HALF DAY 

(Monday - Thursday ONLY) 

One Person - $215 

Two People - $250


FULL DAY  

January through June 15th - Seven to nine hours of Driftless fun with a break for lunch or dinner with snacks and beverages that are included. Multiple options here call for more information! 

One Person - $315 

Two People - $350


TWO DAY PACKAGE

Same as a full day but twice as much Driftless fun! To help accommodate travel times for many of our clients and take advantage of prime fishing times, we recommend the first day be mid-day to dusk and the second day early AM to mid-afternoon.

One Person - $525 

Two People - $575


All the above are simply suggestions. We will tailor-make your trip based on your schedule. 


Gratuities for a job well done are much appreciated.


For liability reasons we cannot guide children under the age of 12 and all minors under the age of 18 must be closely accompanied by a parent or guardian.

WHAT'S A DAY LOOK LIKE

No two sets of travel plans, weather conditions, sunrise/sunset times, or life patterns are ever the same, so we tailor-make every adventure to fit your needs and desires. 


BUT, if I had to rattle off what a standard full-day might look like here's what it would be:


  • Meet sometime between 6:30 and 8 AM 
  • Have a cup of coffee and talk for a bit about your desires and any limitations you might have
  • Load up and drive to our morning destination
  • Fish, Fish, and Fish some more.
  • BACK for 2021 (based on regulations for COVID-19) Take a break for a park or stream side lunch
  • Drive to our afternoon destination
  • Fish, Fish, and Fish some more
  • At roughly 5:00 PM, we return to your local hotel, cottage, BB, or our original meeting point.
