I had an amazing experience with Todd fishing the Wisconsin River. He knew exactly where to go, had all the gear, and shared tons of tips and tricks throughout the day. You can tell he truly loves what he does and really cares about making your trip a success. Justin Hopf2025-08-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Todd was a great guide. We went out in early August which isn’t an easy time to find fish, but we were in the fish very early. Todd did a great job explaining to my son different techniques which was awesome. We also went way over time and he made every effort possible to make sure my son got a fish. If we are looking for a guide in this area again we will be calling Todd for sure. N Maniaci2025-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Josh graham kessel2025-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 19 out of 10 stars for Teacher Todd! As if catching nonstop football sized smallmouth on top water baits wasn’t enough… he managed to keep us smiling the whole time. His “can do attitude” compliments his tactical “hot spot” identification abilities. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience… look no further. I can’t wait to get back out on the water with Todd! Thanks a million for helping me to set a PR for fish caught! Heidi Cade2025-06-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Todd took my 16 year old daughter and her boyfriend out fishing for the day. He was so patient with my daughter who hadn't had much real fishing experience. Todd knew where the fish were and the kids caught so many. I highly recommend Todd to anyone. You will have the trip of your lifetime. Kinzie Cade2025-06-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Do you get bored of fishing really easily when you arent catching anything? Same. But when I was with Todd, there wasn’t a time where I was bored! There was not a minute where there was no action. The whole time we were catching fish. Todd knows the best places, and not only are you catching normal sized fish…they are huge! I had such a good time with him! He took me and my boyfriend out for hours and it was amazing!!
