| Hey guys and girls,
I am interested in hiring a guide to take me and a buddy musky fishing in northern WI.
Im sure the are all "good", but I am curious to know who you personally have hired and had fun with.
Thanks in advance. |

Anywhere where the good guides are, and the Muskies. 
Minaqua, Rhinelander, Mercer, eagle river, etc |

| Although I haven't fished with him, if I were going to hire a guide in N. Wisconsin, I would consider Lee Bastian of Rhinelander. He has a reputation for producing. I've gotten to know him a little because he works at Mel's Trading Post, a sporting goods store in Rhinelander, and he is really personable. I think it would be a day well spent to fish with him. |

Rob Manthei in the Eagle River area, not sure where the other areas fall...

| Ive got Jeff booked this aug. Seems like a fun guy to fish with, and he just catches fish. I also stay on Big St every year and will talk with Rob M about getting out for a day on Big St Germain. Ive never had any real luck with skis on that lake, and didnt realize he was right there the entire time. |

Location: minocqua, wi. | Both Rob and Jeff would be top choices assuming you can get them … they both are pretty busy as a result of their capabilities. Doug is another one that would be a great choice. |

| Paul Klein is great! He's been on the open water thing for years! He's awesome, and know what he is doing. |
|

Location: Lake Tomahawk, WI | I may be a little biased, but I would hire Mark Lijewski if I were you. The guy tends to fly under the radar but puts a lot of big fish in the boat every year. Other than that, you can't go wrong with the likes of Rob Manthei, Doug Smith, Paul Klein, or Jake Smith.

| I used Langkamp's Guide service in the Hayward area. We have been fishing that area for years and had plenty of follows but never stuck one, so we hired a guide. Micah sure put us on fish! Didn't think I would ever land 4 in one day but I did! Plus had many more follows. He is a great guy to fish with! |

Had a great experience with Micah Langkamp as well, if your looking at the Hayward area.
