Great Waters, Great Fish

For 17 years Tim Holschlag has guided on the best rivers and streams in Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Upper Penninsula. Naturally, great Minnesota rivers like the upper Mississippi and the St. Croix are on his guiding list, but so are smaller and lesser-known waterways where the fishing is equally superb. And since no one knows the region's smallmouth waters like Tim, you're assured that, no matter where it is, it will be excellent smallmouth habitat.

River fishing scene



Custom Craft
These trips are daylong floats for one or two clients. On most rivers, the craft used is a customized oar-powered johnboat. For smaller streams, a specialized "Smallmouth Angler" canoe allows you to reach waters rarely fished by others. From these comfortable fishing boats, smallmouth fans from across the United States have caught thousands of fish over 15 inches. And hundreds of these are trophies exceeding 18 inches, including giants over five pounds. On Tim's trips, your chances of battling unusually beefy bronzebacks are high.

Comprehensive Instruction, too

Drawing on Tim Holschlag's many years as a professional smallmouth instructor, you can receive personalized instruction on your trip if you wish. As the author of two popular smallmouth books and hundreds of magazine articles, a prominent seminar speaker, and the primary teacher at his popular "Stream Smallmouth Schools" for 15 years, Tim Holschlag offers you instruction and insights available nowhere else. As much or as little instruction as you want is entirely up to you. However, if you want to further your knowledge of smallmouth bass and how to catch them, these are the trips.

(If you're not familar with Tim's extensive angling background, just Google "Tim Holschlag." At last count there were around 1,000 listings.)


The Best Tackle
Besides great fishing instruction, your trip includes lunch and beverages, plus use of the finest in tackle, flies or lures. Either fly tackle or spin, Tim provides clients with the best equipment for the conditions. This includes his custom-built fly rods and patterns from the "Holschlag Signature Series Smallmouth Flies" selection. These flies are designed for and rigorously tested on the waters you will be fishing.




"All of my trips with Tim have been great. Each time I learn a whole lot more about smallmouth and how to catch them. And on my last trip, the number of big smallies I landed absolutely amazed me."
