Have never been there before. Figured I would look into booking a guide for several days for summer 2011. Not sure what part of the lake to go to either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Esoxmtk,

If you are interested in Muskie
and walleye...take a guy by the name
of Mark at the white birch lodge in
Sioux Narrows! He is really good and
knows all of the spots. Even the
legend Bob Mehsikomer's favorite
spots. You will fish red rock/white
fish bay/yellow girl let me know
how you do....good luck.

Check out Indianhead Lodge in Sioux Narrows, Karen and Tim are excellent hosts. Nice cabins, great docking facilities and close to all the "Big Musky" waters.

Northwest Angle/ Bill Sandy, hands down the best guide on all of LOTW, Bill just put his 500th fish over 50" in his boat this year.

500th? Is that a typo?

Oh, I get it. 500th fish over 50 in his lifetime, not one year.

+1 on Bill Sandy. The guy is a fishing machine! The camp is great, nice cabins, good docks (watch out for Coco, she will eat anything you leave out in the boat. Lost 2lbs of jerky one trip. The poor dog didn't feel so well that day ) and you are right in prime waters. Super nice guy to fish with and you will learn a ton.

Ed Spoerl does very well on LOTW as well. Not sure what his plan is for next year but if he is guiding there I would definitely look him up. Ask any of the Vets that fished with him in the Operation Musky outings and they will tell you he is top notch.

Some great names... heck some legendary ones. Know of them and would fish with any listed so far... with JOY!

Ciscoe is right though about Ed. I know Mr. Spoerl personally and would strongly second Travis' recommendation. Great guy with a curiosity and thirst for the Where, Whens & Whys of what makes Musky in general and more specifically that "World Class" water tick.... and has spent the time up there to put it together.

Check him out if he is available.... he is one of the good ones for sure and you would have to look long and hard to find a better suited or more knowledgeable companion for your adventure.
