I'm a past 19+ year guide on the Manitowish Chain and plan on a trip to Manitowish
Waters this summer. Being a full time resident of Montana now, I do NOT have a
valid Wi guide's license~therefore if anyone wants to fish with me on the "Chain",
I'll take you out for a day or so, no charge, gas, bait etc.---its on me!

Love the trout, but miss the Muskys.

Ralphie boy!!!!!!!!!!!! Give me a call or shoot me an email when you head up there. It's Joel (Chico's son). I'm up there quite a bit so maybe we can hit the water for a day. 262-498-5644. [email protected]

Anyone that gets a chance to head out with Ralph would be in for a lesson for sure. He put some big fish in the boat when he was up there.

Ralph, if you didn't already fill the spot, I would love to go out there with you. I got a job up north so I could be closer to quality musky waters for the summer and I'll be living right by Trout Lake. Never fished the Manitowish Chain, but I would love to learn a little from you and spend the day netting a few fish for you.
Obviously, anything afterwards (food, beer, who knows) would be on me!

Hope to hear back from you, Jake Bucki

I'll try to keep in touch with you guys. My trip date is pretty well dictated by the
forest fire season here. I'm right up against 3 million acres of National Forest and if
its a dry season again, I'll probably wait until late fall.

Brian, can you fish thru the week? I"m always looking for people in the Burgh to go fishing when I can sneak out of work.

Ralph,

Where abouts in Montana are you? I have a bunch of buddies that fight fires out of Gardiner, Bozeman, and Mammoth (WY), and yes they have been busy these last few years!

PM me when you set your dates and I'll take you out for a day, rowtrolling is easy compared to fighting fires!

I'm 7 miles out of Thompson Falls, Montana, right at the top of a mountain. Thompson is 95 miles North of Missoula, 110 miles West of Kalispell (Glacier
Nat. Park). I'm up in the North-West part of Mt, 25 miles from the panhandle of
Idaho.
