Experience the thrill of guided fly fishing trips for carp and trout in southern Wisconsin.

Carp Fishing Trips

River Float Carp Fishing

$525 Full Day (8 hours) | $350 Half Day (4 hours)

Trout Fishing Trips

Driftless Walk-and-Wade Trout Fishing

$475 Full Day (8 hours) | $325 Half Day (4 hours)

Wisconsin’s Driftless region is among the world’s most beautiful country, offering excellent trout fishing. With literally thousands of miles of trout streams, there is no shortage of water to fish.

The Guide will provide transportation for the day. Fishing locations depend on conditions, the time of year, and skill level. Many locations are within 45 minutes of Madison, but others are farther. Drive time will depend on conditions and your schedule.

Early-season (April - early June) trout fishing is much more accessible than later in the season when the banks are overgrown with grass and other plants. So, keep that in mind when thinking about when to book your trip.

Whether you’re a seasoned carp angler looking for a challenge or giving it your first shot, we can accommodate you. Most of the carpin’ spots are within an hour of Madison, Wisconsin. The best spot will depend on the time of year and weather. Before our outing, we will discuss the time and place to meet. This will likely be a sun-up-to-sun-down day for you, so set expectations with anyone waiting for your return.

Full Day & Half Day Carp Fishing

On the boat | May - September

Max 2 participants

*A 25% deposit is required to hold the date, and the balance is due on the date of the trip

Half-days can be arranged depending on the Client’s availability but it is best to schedule when the sun is highest.

Food & Drink

Snacks, lunch, and beverages will be provided on full-day trips. The Guide will also provide a large thermos of ice cold drinking water.

Start & End Time

Depending on the spot, we may be motoring upriver for up to an hour, so we might have an early start to get the most out of the day. In other spots we will not have to use a motor and will arrange a shuttle together. The Guide will meet you at the put-in/boat launch.

Tackle

Tackle will be provided, but you can also bring your own. If you bring your own, you’ll want a 7-8-weight fly rod with a reel that has a good drag system.

Flies can vary widely depending on the conditions. You can bring some carp flies if you like, but the Guide will have plenty to match the conditions.

What to Bring

• Polarized sunglasses

• Waders (varies based on weather)

• Sunscreen
