Premier Brule River Salmon & Trout Fishing Trip

Reel in the Wild on the Brule River

Get ready for a half-day of pure fishing bliss on the Brule River. This isn't your average cast-and-wait trip – we're talking about a private adventure with Guide Cory, who knows these waters like the back of his hand. Whether you're chasing the thrill of landing a hefty salmon or the finesse of coaxing a wily trout, this trip's got you covered. And the best part? You'll be surrounded by some of the most jaw-dropping scenery Wisconsin has to offer.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're gliding along the Brule at dawn, mist rising off the water as you and your fishing buddy settle in for four hours of prime angling. Guide Cory's at the helm, sharing local knowledge and pointing out the best spots to drop your line. We keep it small – just two anglers per trip – so you'll get plenty of personal attention. But hey, if you've got a bigger crew, no worries. We can add more folks for a little extra.

Gearing Up for Success

Leave your tackle box at home, folks. We've got all the gear you need to land the big one. From rods and reels to the latest lures that the local fish can't resist, we've got you covered. All you need to bring is your valid fishing license and a good attitude. Oh, and maybe a camera to capture that trophy catch. We'll be using a mix of techniques depending on what's biting – could be some drift fishing, maybe some fly casting if that's your style. Cory's always got a few tricks up his sleeve to make sure you're in the action.

Top Catches This Season

The Brule's got a reputation for some serious fish, and for good reason. We're talking about hooking into feisty Coho Salmon that'll give your arms a workout, or outsmarting a crafty Steelhead Trout. And let's not forget the resident Brown and Brook Trout – these guys might not be as big, but they're a blast to catch and even better on the dinner table (if you're into catch-and-cook). Cory's always got the inside scoop on what's running and where they're hiding.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish – though that's a big part of it. The Brule River is like something out of a postcard. You've got towering pines lining the banks, eagles soaring overhead, and water so clear you can see the pebbles on the bottom. It's the kind of place that makes you forget about your phone and just soak in the moment. And with our seasonal scheduling, we make sure you're out there when the fishing's hot and the scenery's at its peak.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Coho Salmon: These silver bullets are the prize of the Brule. Weighing in anywhere from 5 to 15 pounds, Cohos are known for their acrobatic fights and tasty fillets. They start running in late summer and peak in fall, turning the river into a angler's paradise. When a Coho hits your line, hold on tight – these guys don't go down without a fight.

Steelhead Trout: The Brule's steelhead are legendary. These sea-run rainbows come charging up the river in spring and fall, ready to test your skills. They're typically in the 5 to 10 pound range, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 15-pounder. Steelhead are known for their lightning-fast runs and aerial displays – landing one of these is a true badge of honor for any angler.

Brown Trout: The Brule's brown trout are the clever residents that keep you on your toes. These guys hang out year-round, often lurking in undercut banks or behind boulders. They're not as big as the salmon or steelhead, usually topping out around 5 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in cunning. Fooling a big brown is a test of your finesse and patience.

Brook Trout: The jewels of the Brule, brook trout are a favorite among fly anglers. These native beauties are a feast for the eyes with their vibrant colors. They're typically smaller, rarely exceeding 12 inches, but what they lack in size they make up for in spirit. Catching a brookie on a light fly rod in a tumbling riffle is pure poetry.

Inside Tips from Guide Cory

Cory's been fishing these waters for decades, and he's got some wisdom to share. "The key to success on the Brule is reading the water," he says. "Look for those seams where fast water meets slow – that's where the big boys like to hang out." He also stresses the importance of stealth. "These fish can be spooky, especially in the clear water. Light lines and natural presentations are the way to go." And his number one tip? "Stay flexible. Sometimes you've got to switch up your approach a few times before you find what works. But when you do, it's game on."

What You Need to Know

Our trips kick off bright and early at 7 AM – trust me, it's worth setting that alarm. We provide all the gear, but if you've got a lucky rod you can't live without, feel free to bring it along.
