        At Northwoods Flyfisher, Istrive to provide my clients with the best fly fishing experience as possible. I am dedicated to providing exceptional customer service and ensuring that every client has a safe and enjoyable trip. my mission is to create memories that will last a lifetime and skills to improve your fly fishing skills overall.

        About me

        I am an avid fly fisherman with over 35 years of experience of fly fishing and fly tying.  Northern Wisconsin born and raised.  One of my most vivid early memories was seeing Louie Spray's world record musky at the Spray Bar in Rice Lake, WI where my grandfather tended bar.  I started fly fishing around the age of 12 and went all in.  Soon after I started tying my own flies fueling my love for fly fishing even more.  After I graduated Highschool I joined the Air Force and ultimately served for 20 years active duty, 15 yrs were overseas.   I was fortunate to be able to fly fish during my military career at some amazing destinations and learn techniques from local national fly anglers. After I retired from the Air Force my facilely and I landed just north of Salt Lake City, Utah and started my new career as a fly fishing guide on the famous Green River below Flaming Gorge Reservoir.  My desire to be back home in northern Wisconsin and desire return was strong.  In 2021 I bought a home in Hayward Wisconsin for my family and started Northwoods Flyfisher.  We have endless amounts of water to fish and a multitude of species to target with a fly.   My main passion is musky on the fly but also love chasing Smallmouth bath in the same rivers.  

        Our Services

        I offer tailored trips for every skill level.  Full day river float trips for bass and/or musky is my specialty.  However, I also offer full or half day trips on lakes targeting everything from Bluegill to Musky on fly or conventional fishing gear.

        Local Knowledge

        I grew up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and look forward to sharing my passion for my home waters with you!  Smallmouth bass and especially musky are my favorite fish to target but I can also have a blast catching bluegill.  I guide on our local rivers and lesser pressured lakes in the local Hayward area.

        Full Day River Float Trips

        Full day river floats are typically 8hrs of on the water fishing.  Rivers I guide are the Chippewa, Flambeau, Red Cedar and a few smaller rivers within the Hayward area.  Please note river float trips are fly fishing only in my boat.  Float trips are limited to 1 or 2 guests.

        Full or Half Day Lake Trips

        Full and half day trips are offered for multiply fish species on many Hayward area Lakes with both fly and conventional fishing gear. I can accommodate up to 3 guests on my boat on these trips.  If fly fishing, 2 guests is recommended.   

        What to Bring

        I provide all fishing gear on my guide trips, but you are free to bring your own.  On full day trips, lunch and water will be provided.  On half day trips I provide light snacks and water.  

        You should bring the following:

        Polarized Sunglasses, rain gear,

        medications, beverages of choice, snacks, and a positive attitude.

        Tailored Fishing Trips

        I understand that every trip has different needs and expectations.  My goal is to tailor your trip to best fit your needs and fishing expectations.   I typically base my guide trips based on current fishing conditions and like to select the location no more than 2 days prior but understand that isn't always the client's desire.  All trip details will be communicated at a minimum of the evening before via text or phone call (I prefer phone call).
