    Fabulous day on Otisco

    8 Hour Trip – Otisco Lake on June 19, 2025 • 2 adults

    Capt Mike is a tremendous guide with vast knowledge of the NY/VT waters. I'd say the conditions were challenging the day we went out but Mike found us great fish. There's no doubt we'll be contacting Mike again for future trips. I'm telling you, Mike's your guide!

    Caught a MONSTER Tiger

    8 Hour Trip – Otisco Lake on May 17, 2024 • 2 adults

    Mike was amazing, I cannot recommend him enough. He worked hard for us and we had action all day. He also was a a nice guy and we enjoyed chatting with him throughout the day. I’m not used to freshwater fishing and he taught me a lot! We will absolutely be back.
