Welcome to Doug Smith's Guide Service!

Fishing the Minocqua area lakes for 30+ years,  I can remember when I caught my first musky in 1974 on Lake Minocqua and have passionately chased them since.  Being a full-time, licensed Wisconsin Fishing Guide for 18 years, you can take advantage of the systems, tactics and knowledge, for both musky and walleye, that has been developed over those years.  Feel free to come and experience the many different trophy class lakes that the Minocqua Wisconsin area has to offer.

Although specializing in going after the bigger fish that are available on these waters, you will feel equally at home if you are looking to catch your first musky and choose to fish one of the action type waters on our trip.  The Minocqua area has a wide variety of lakes to suit any type of angler's desires.  For a special adventure, we can also take advantage of our 3-person custom row-trolling boat for area lakes where motor trolling is prohibited.

We practice catch and release on all trophy musky and walleye.
