FAQ
Do you offer military discounts?
Yes, I offer a 10% discount on our Full and Half Day Trip for all Active Duty and Veteran Military, EMS, Fire, LEO, Nurses, and School Teachers. The booking capacity is still capped at 2 anglers.
Do you offer discounts for kids?
Yes, it is my goal to provide a fun, relaxed, and engaging trip for kids. I offer a 50% discount on a Half Day Trip for children age 16 or younger. The booking capacity is limited to 1 child and 1 parent or guardian.
What does the booking process look like? Is there a deposit required?
When you submit your request for a booking, it will be reviewed and confirmed. Once your reservation is confirmed, a 25% deposit is required to reserve your date(s). Remaining fees are to be paid with cash, check, or PayPal after your trip.
Gratuities are customary.
How many people can be part of a single trip?
Most trips will be for 1 or 2 angler(s). It will be your choice when you book. Please note that if you are interested in a canoe trip only 1 angler per trip is allowed.
What kind of fish can we expect to see and catch?
The Milwaukee River and her tributaries boast wonderful smallmouth bass fishing from April through October and excellent northern pike fishing year round. Furthermore, it is not uncommon to catch walleye, catfish, carp, and an assortment of panfish. Great Lakes salmon, steelhead, and brown trout fishing is excellent September through April.
Area lakes boast an excellent largemouth bass fishery and good numbers of northern pike, panfish, walleye, and musky.
Milwaukee River Fly Fishing focuses on warm water species such as smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, northern pike, and carp. Arrangements can be made for those interested in fishing for salmon, steelhead, and brown trout.
Do you run hourly or multi-day trips?
Yes, please contact me for special rates on multi-day trips or for outings less than 4 hours. It is my goal to meet your needs. Sometimes family, professional, or life responsibilities only allow for an hour or two to fish and I want to make sure you maximize your time on the water.
Do I need to bring any equipment?
High quality gear, tackle, and flies are supplied but you are more than welcome to bring your own gear if preferred.
If you choose to bring your own gear, tackle, or flies, make sure to keep the following items in mind:
What should I wear?
Eye protection is required! Polarized sunglasses are recommended (brown, copper, or amber lenses work best). Make sure to bring your fishing license, a dark under-brim hat, quick-drying clothing and layers, and sun protection (e.g. a Buff, sun gloves, sunscreen). Footwear will get wet, please plan accordingly. Comfortable shoes, strap sandals, or wading boots without studs are required.
What is the cancellation policy?
A 7 day notice is required for a full refund of your deposit. Half of the deposit will be refunded for cancellations made less than 7 days but more than 48 hours prior to a trip. If you cancel within 48 hours, you will lose your deposit. Cancellation due to extreme weather conditions will be determined only when the safety of the client is at risk. In these cases, deposits will be refunded or held to reserve a rescheduled date.
