Location: Iowa | Just trying to get some ideas. Who would you hire and why in Wisconsin or Minnesota? I've fished with Ty on the flowage and had a great time. I go up there every year, and was just thinking about another short trip this year. Thanks. | |

| The central Wisconsin area might be closer for you than Hayward. There is a lot of options and a much different atmosphere that most musky waters. While I am obviously partial to my own guide service and the guys that work with me, there are a lot of good sticks in the area. | |

| Gregg Thomas is great on Mille Lacs. In his boat, you are king for the day.
Jason Hamernick, Steve Jonesi, and Luke Ronnestrand are all knowledgeable, fun, and all around good people that consistently put big fish in their boats year after year on Mille Lacs.
Don't forget Brad Hoppe for some of the lesser known lakes in MN. Talk about an impressive resume of big fish catches! Plus, after meeting him at the Chicago show, he struck me as a very personable guy.
If I could hire someone for Vermilion it would probably be Tom Wheler (sp?) because the guy strikes me as a goof ball! You've got to have a sense of humor in this crazy sport! | |

Location: Munster, IN | I recommend Joel Tinker, www.toptackle.com, in the Hayward area.
He fishes the Chip, LCO, Grindstone, Namakagon, Whitefish, Eau Claire Chain, Sissabagama just to name a few.
He will put you on some nice fish plus he is a first class guy.
You will definitely learn a lot from him.
He is a multi species guide too.

| Eagle River, Manitowish Waters, Three Lakes area. I've been out a couple times with Paul Klein and always have a ball. You cannot fish longer than this guy. He'll wear you out. It's also nice to get out and do something a little different than what most do. Paul will put you out in the open water where the big girls live. And, he's a riot to be around. Make sure you jump on him the first time he zings you or you're gonna be ground beef by the end of the day. A stogey won't hurt either.
Rhinelander area. Remember too, that our own Mr. Worrall has again hung out the shingle. If you want a great day on the water and a great time to boot. He fits the bill.
