Looking for a solid half-day on the water without the hassle of bringing your own gear? Our private fishing trip on Trout Lake in Boulder Junction has you covered. This top-rated 4-hour adventure puts you and a buddy right in the heart of some of Wisconsin's most productive fishing waters, where Lake Trout and Walleye are just the beginning of what's biting. At $250 for two anglers, it's one of the best deals around, especially when you factor in that all your tackle, rods, and know-how come included. Got a third person wanting to join? No problem – we can squeeze them in for just $50 more, and kids under 10 fish for free.
Trout Lake isn't your typical crowded fishing spot – it's a gem tucked away in Boulder Junction that offers the kind of peaceful fishing experience you've been craving. The lake stretches out with crystal-clear water, rocky points that hold fish, and deeper channels where the big ones cruise. You'll spend your four hours working different areas depending on what's active that day. Some mornings the fish are shallow and aggressive, other times we'll need to head to the deeper water and work more methodically. The beauty of a guided trip is that we know these patterns like the back of our hand, so you're not wasting time guessing where to start. The setting is pure Wisconsin lake country – pine-lined shores, clean air, and water that actually looks like something out of a postcard. Whether you're a seasoned angler or someone who just wants to relax and learn a few new tricks, this lake delivers.
We fish Trout Lake using a mix of techniques that match what the fish are doing on any given day. Jigging over those rocky points is a customer favorite – there's something satisfying about feeling your jig bounce off the bottom and then getting that telltale tap of a fish picking it up. We'll use everything from traditional jig and minnow combos to newer soft plastics that have been absolutely crushing it lately. When the fish are spread out or sitting deeper, we'll switch to trolling with crankbaits or spinner rigs. The boat is equipped with quality rods and reels that can handle everything from scrappy bass to those hard-fighting Lake Trout that like to make long runs. All you need to bring is your valid Wisconsin fishing license – we've got the rest handled. Live bait, artificials, net, tackle box, the works. Just pack some snacks and drinks to keep your energy up, because four hours on the water goes by faster than you'd think when the fish are cooperating.

Walleye are the bread and butter of Trout Lake, and for good reason – they're here in solid numbers and they fight like they mean it. These golden beauties typically run 14 to 20 inches, with the occasional wall-hanger pushing over two feet. Walleye fishing is best during low-light periods, so early morning and late afternoon trips tend to produce the most action. They love hanging around those rocky structures and drop-offs where they can ambush baitfish. What makes Walleye so popular with our guests is that they're not only fun to catch, but they're also some of the best eating fish you'll find in northern Wisconsin. They have this subtle fighting style – not flashy like a bass, but they'll use every ounce of their weight to try and shake that hook.
Lake Trout are the heavyweight champions of Trout Lake, and catching one is always a highlight of any trip. These fish can live for decades and grow to impressive sizes – we regularly see fish in the 20 to 30-inch range, with some true giants lurking in the deeper water. Lake Trout prefer the cooler, deeper areas of the lake, especially during summer months when surface temperatures climb. They're most active during spring and fall when the water temperatures are more to their liking. What guests love about Lake Trout is their power – when you hook into a good one, you know it immediately. They'll make long, determined runs and use their bulk to test your drag system. Plus, they're absolutely beautiful fish with their distinctive spotting and that classic trout profile that makes for great photos.
This private half-day fishing trip on Trout Lake offers everything you want in a guided fishing experience – knowledgeable guidance, quality gear, productive waters, and fish that actually bite. At $250 for two people, you're getting four hours of pure fishing time without any of the usual headaches that come with planning a day on the water. The fact that kids under 10 fish free makes it a perfect family option, and the ability to add a third angler for just $50 more gives you flexibility if your group grows. Maxwell's review says it all – the guides know these waters, they know how to put you on fish, and they make sure you have a good time doing it. Trout Lake isn't going to fish itself, and the best dates fill up faster than you'd expect. Ready to get your line wet?
Your fishing platform for this half-day adventure is a 16.5' Alumacraft Navigator powered by a reliable 50HP Mercury 4-stroke engine. This aluminum workhorse seats up to 3 anglers comfortably and handles Trout Lake's waters with ease, whether you're working the rocky points for walleye or heading to deeper structure for lake trout. The boat comes equipped with a fish finder to mark those productive spots, GPS navigation to keep you on course, and an icebox to keep your drinks cold during those mid-morning breaks. Built for serious fishing, the Navigator's stable platform gives you confidence when fighting northern pike or bass, while the smooth-running Mercury gets you to the hot spots quickly and quietly. Perfect for jigging presentations or trolling runs across the lake's varied structure.
Salvelinus NamaycushLake trout are the heavyweights of Trout Lake, often running 3-10 pounds with the occasional monster hitting 15-plus. These are true cold-water fish that spend most of their time in the deep basins, typically 40-80 feet down during summer months. What sets them apart is their incredible lifespan - some of these fish are decades old. They're drawn to steep drop-offs and underwater humps where they suspend and cruise for baitfish. Spring right after ice-out is prime time when they move shallower and are more aggressive. Lakers are known for their powerful, deep runs that really test your drag system. The meat is rich and oily - some love it, others prefer catch and release. Here's a local trick: when jigging deep, drop your lure to bottom then reel up 5-10 feet. Lakers often hit on the drop, so keep tension on your line and be ready to set the hook on any tap or weight change.
Sander VitreusWalleye are one of the most sought-after fish in northern Wisconsin, and for good reason. These golden-colored fish with their distinctive glassy eyes typically run 14-20 inches on Trout Lake, with the occasional trophy pushing 6-8 pounds. They're structure-oriented fish that love rocky points, weed edges, and drop-offs in 8-25 feet of water. What makes them special is their feeding behavior - they move shallow during low-light periods, making early morning and evening prime time. Walleye put up a solid fight with their head-shaking runs, but honestly, most folks target them because they're hands-down the best eating fish we've got. The meat is white, flaky, and mild - perfect for a shore lunch. My go-to tip: when jigging over rocks, use a slower presentation than you think. Walleye often just "tick" the bait, so watch your line closely for subtle movements.
