With eight solid hours on the water targeting walleye and lake trout, you'll have plenty of time to work different spots, try various techniques, and hopefully fill the cooler. At $450 for two anglers, this customer favorite delivers serious value, especially when you factor in all the top-tier gear that's included. Got a third person who wants to join?

Trout Lake sits right in the heart of Wisconsin's legendary Northwoods, where the fishing culture runs deep and the fish populations are healthy. This world-class fishery offers the perfect combination of structure, depth, and forage that keeps both walleye and lake trout thriving year-round. You'll spend your day working the lake's varied terrain—from rocky points and drop-offs to weed edges and deeper basins where the big ones like to hang out. The scenery alone is worth the trip, but when you add in the consistent action and the chance at some real trophy fish, you've got a recipe for one of those days you'll be talking about for years. Sam knows this water like the back of his hand, so you'll be fishing the most productive spots at the right times of day. Whether the fish are relating to structure in shallow water or suspended over deep basins, you'll be in the right place with the right presentation.
This trip covers all the bases when it comes to effective lake fishing techniques. Depending on conditions and fish behavior, you'll likely spend time both jigging and trolling—two methods that consistently produce results on Trout Lake. When jigging, you'll work jigs tipped with live bait or soft plastics along structure and breaklines, feeling for that telltale thump that means fish. Trolling allows you to cover more water and locate active schools, especially effective for lake trout in deeper water and walleye relating to specific depth ranges. All the gear is provided, and we're talking quality stuff here—rods, reels, tackle, electronics, and everything else you need for a successful day. The boat is equipped with fish finders and GPS to locate the best spots and track fish movement throughout the day. Just bring your valid Wisconsin fishing license, some snacks and drinks to keep your energy up, and be ready to learn some new techniques that'll make you a better angler. Sam's got years of experience reading these waters and will teach you the subtle differences in presentations that often make the difference between a slow day and a banner day.

Walleye are the bread and butter of many Northwoods lakes, and Trout Lake's population is nothing short of impressive. These golden beauties typically run 14 to 20 inches, with plenty of keeper-sized fish and the occasional wall-hanger pushing 25 inches or more. Walleye are most active during low-light periods—early morning, late evening, and overcast days—but Trout Lake's population is healthy enough that you can find willing fish throughout the day if you know where to look. They love structure like rocky points, weed edges, and drop-offs where they can ambush baitfish. What makes walleye so special is their incredible table fare—there's a reason they're called the best-eating freshwater fish. Their firm, white, flaky meat has a mild flavor that's perfect whether you're doing a simple shore lunch or taking them home for a family fish fry.
Lake trout are the true trophy species of these deep, cold Northwoods lakes, and Trout Lake holds some real beauties. These char prefer the cooler, deeper water and can live for decades, growing to impressive sizes. Most lake trout you'll encounter will range from 18 to 30 inches, but the potential for something truly special—a fish in the 10-pound-plus range—keeps things interesting every time you drop a line. Lake trout are most active during the cooler months and early season, but they can be caught year-round if you know how to target the thermocline and deeper structure. They're aggressive feeders when you find them, and their powerful runs will test your drag system. While they're not quite the table fare that walleye are, fresh lake trout is still excellent eating, especially when smoked or grilled with some simple seasonings that let the natural flavor shine through.
Eight hours on one of Wisconsin's premier fishing lakes, targeting two fantastic species with all gear included—this trip delivers everything serious anglers are looking for.

Trout Lake's healthy fish populations and diverse structure mean you'll stay busy all day, and the beautiful Northwoods setting makes every moment enjoyable, whether

Salvelinus NamaycushLake trout are the heavyweights of Trout Lake, often reaching 20-30 inches and putting up a serious fight in deep water. These char prefer the coldest, deepest parts of the lake - we're talking 40-80 feet down most of the summer. They've got that classic grey-green coloring with cream spots. Spring right after ice-out is magic because they'll come up to 20-30 feet where you can actually see them on the electronics. Lakers are built for the long haul - they'll test your drag and your patience. What guests love is the combination of technique and power - you're working jigs in deep water, reading sonar, then suddenly you're fighting a fish that could go 15 pounds. Pro tip: when jigging spoons, let them flutter down on slack line. Lakers often hit on the drop, and you'll feel that subtle weight when you lift the rod.
Sander VitreusWalleye are the gold standard for eating fish around here - mild, flaky white meat that's hard to beat. These golden-colored fish with their distinctive glassy eyes typically run 15-20 inches in Trout Lake, though we see plenty in the 3-4 pound range. They're smart fish that like to hang around rocky points and drop-offs during the day, usually in 15-25 feet of water. Evening and early morning are prime time when they move shallow to feed. Their night vision gives them a real advantage in low light. What makes walleye fishing fun is they can be finicky - one day they want jigs, the next they're all over live bait rigs. Here's a local trick: when jigging isn't working, try a slow trolling pass with a crawler harness just off the bottom along those weed edges. The bite is subtle, so stay ready.
