Packaged Trips customized to your needs:

* Booking a trip is easy: Contact us by Email, phone, or mail and we'll arrange your trip including lodging at Gone Fish Inn, our bed and breakfast, or motels in Oswego or Clayton. Other accommodations are available locally, as well as some excellent diners and restaurants.

* Package Trips: We offer special 2-day, 3-day, and other customized trips.

* Mix 'N Match: These trips are available for anglers who want to avoid organizing a full party. Contact us and we'll make arrangements for you to fish with other anglers.

* Reservations: Required. We schedule many of our trips up to one year in advance so it's wise to book well ahead. However, on short notice give us a call and we'll make every effort to get you on the water.

* Deposit: A $200/day deposit is required to confirm all trips. In the rare case we cancel a trip due to bad weather, your deposit is refundable.

A Very Happy Birthday

What you'll need to Bring: We provide almost everything including tackle, bait and lines.

Fish Taxidermy

If you want to put a trophy trout or salmon on the wall, we’ll gladly deliver it to the taxidermist for you. Replica mounts of muskies are available. We recommend master fish taxidermist, Maggie Rathje from Fish Wish Taxidermy.
