Wisconsin Northland Outdoor Adventures Guide Service

John H. Myhre - WI Licensed Guide

"Guiding anglers in the Hayward area for over 30 years"

If you're looking for the ultimate outdoor experience here in the Wisconsin northland, give us a call. We offer guided fishing trips for musky, bass, walleye, and panfish and guided hunting for ducks, geese, grouse, deer, and small game. Along with being a full time guide for the last 30 some years I still host and produce a popular outdoor radio show. I am an active member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America and also the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers. In the past I have written many articles for magazines like Musky Hunter magazine, Esox Angler magazine, and Midwest outdoors just to name a few. Up untill recently for many years myself and my wife also owned and operated Sportsmen's Lodge resort on Moose lake. 3 decades of helping people enjoy the outdoors!

We also offer Fall combinations with hunting and fishing in the same day. Member of the Hayward Guide Service with 30+ years experience guiding and fishing the Hayward area lakes and hunting in the area including the Chequamegon Forest and Moose lake area where I live.

Along with myself, I can also hook you up with several other top area guides and also offer guiding for groups. We even help you arrange for lodging in the area if you want.

Fishing Guide service

I offer both full day trips and half day trips as well as a 5 hour evening trip special and a 3 hour family trip special.

The 5 hour evening trip gets you on the water at the very best time during the summer months! The fish are biting and you are out of the hot summer sun.

I have guided trips for musky, walleye, pike, bass, or panfish on Hayward area lakes from a comfortable big 2012 Tracker deep V walleye boat or a 17 1/2' Stratos bass boat, as well as guided kayak river and small lake trips for musky and bass available.

Guided Fly fishing trips available for smallmouth bass and muskies too.

MUSKY FISHING - The Hayward area is known for it's great musky fishing and has many lakes to choose from. Over the years I've had several fish over 50 inches in my boat and to many to count between 40 and 48 inches. However while some of our lakes regularly produce some real trophies, others are known for action and produce plenty of action from legal size muskies but with over 20 years of catch and release going on even these lakes are starting to produce some nice fish. Over the last couple years we've caught many mid to upper 40 inch fish from these "numbers" lakes and had quite a few days where we've boated multiple 40+ inch fish.

Even when conditions are not the greatest for catching that big one from one of the trophy lakes, and we all know they are not easy to catch anytime, fishing these "action" lakes produces fish and sometimes a real trophy too.

I fish most of the lakes in the area and catching muskies is usually not a problem on most days, it's just the really big ones that don't come easy.

A tip on catching Trophy Muskies, There are definitely times of the year and conditions when your odds of catching that real trophy are much greater. If the time is right, like in the fall or under the right weather conditions, go for the "big one",and other times concentrate on just catching legal fish. By doing this you'll learn more, enjoy it more, and definitely catch more muskies.

If you have any questions on the best times and lakes to fish, call

BASS FISHING - One of Northwest Wisconsin's most overlooked fisheries is it's bass fishing, both largemouth and smallmouth, and it just keeps getting better! Our smallmouth fishing is world class, and it's hard to beat our Largemouth fishing too!

If you like to catch fish, bass in the Hayward are provide some of the very best action and just plain fun fishing! For example, The Chippewa Flowage not only provides good fishing for musky, walleye, panfish, and northern pike, it has become a fantastic fishery for both smallmouth and largemouth bass! It may well be one of the best bass lakes in Wisconin now!

Many of our lakes provide as good of bassin' as you'll find anywhere and when it comes to smallmouth bass we have a lot of waters that would rank world class smallie fisheries. Every year we catch many of them from 17 to over 20 inches and there are Smallmouth up to 23 inches long caught!

Also don't overlook the Largemouth fishing in the area! It too is nothing short of spectacular! Some of the lakes I regularly fish for them we catch 30 or more Largemouth a day with many of them running 14 to 20 inches.

Whether you want to fish largemouth on a secluded lake in the Chequamegon National Forest, smallmouth on the Chippewa river, or fish the fantastic smallmouth fishery we now have, we'll take you there and I guarantee you'll come back for more.

If you enjoy catching fish and bass fishing you will have a great time here in our area!

WALLEYE FISHING

Many of our lakes provide some good walleye fishing, especially in the spring and fall. I guide walleyes on most of the area lakes including the Chippewa Flowage. For the walleyes the 5 hour eveing trips are popular as they are very productive for walleye fishing.ANFISHING

There are several area lakes that provide good panfishing most of the season. Crappie fishing is better in the spring and fall but bluegills and perch are pretty active through the summer too.

For both walleye and panfish I can take up to 3 guests in my boat for extra, for bass or musky only 2 guests though.

Fly Fishing - I also offer guided trips for fly angling for musky and bass on Moose lake and surrounding waters including the Chippewa river. We have some of the best shallow water fly fishing for both smallmouth and muskies you will find anywhere!

Guided Kayak and Canoe trips also available

Kayaks and canoes are nothing new, but over the last few years we have seen the paddle sports get even more popular. The kayaks we have today have evolved into very stable and comfortable watercraft. With that we have seen specialty kayaks designed for fishing and an explosion of the popularity of kayak fishing. It all started in saltwater but more and more anglers are discovering that fishing freshwater from a kayak is not only fun but allows you access to waters where you can't get a bigger boat in. I have always used canoes to fish some of the rivers and out of the way spots but have found the fishing kayaks to be more comfortable and enjoyable to fish from on these small waters.

We offer fully guided trips on the Chippewa River or small remote lakes in the Chequamegon National Forest by kayak or canoe for from 2 people to groups. A great way for the whole family to experience the wilderness and with an experienced guide along the fishing is good too. The Chippewa river has an orabundant population of muskies and smallmouth as well as good walleye fishing. Catching big trophy smallmouth from a kayak or canoe is fun and a great experience, and catching muskies from a kayak is maybe the ultimate freshwater experience! Both casting and fly fishing trips are available or combinations.
