Tentative Trip Flow
Over the course of this four day experience we will spend our time fishing the waters of Lake Michigan out of Sheboygan Wisconsin with an experienced captain leading the way. Expect full days on the water focused on salmon and trout fishing balanced with time to rest connect and enjoy the charm of one of the Great Lakes most well known fishing towns. More detailed daily scheduling and logistics will be shared with the group prior to departure.
We’ll be targeting a dynamic mix of salmon and trout on Lake Michigan, one of the most diverse and exciting freshwater fisheries in the country. For this trip you will need a valid 2026 Wisconsin Fishing License (resident or non-resident) plus a separate Great Lakes Salmon & Trout Stamp Privilege, which can also come as a 2-day license package that includes the stamp. Salmon and Trout are managed together under a combined daily bag limit of five (5) fish per person, in any combination of salmon and trout species. The possession limit is ten (10) total fish, which is twice the daily bag limit. We will be up bright and early each morning meeting out guides at the docks. We will fish with them for 2, half days of fishing. After each day, our guides will graciously clean and package our fish for our journey back home.
