Description
Green Sky Cabin and Guide Service is owned and operated by Fred Van Riet, based out of St. Germain, WI and offers guided fishing on a variety of lakes in the area between St. Germain and Star Lake.
I offer 4 hour half-day trips, 8 hour full-day trips, and occasional sunup to sundown musky hunts. We can target multi-species (walleye, bass, panfish, pike), or focus on musky.
I guide from an incredibly well rigged 16 ½ foot aluminum boat. This smaller boat allows better access to some absolute gems in Vilas County. My boat features top of the line Humminbird and Garmin electronics, including the newest in live imaging. I keep my boat clean, well organized, and properly maintained.
We will use a variety of techniques based on the conditions. Multi-species techniques might include snap jigging, Lindy rigging, ripping jerk baits and crankbaits, drop shot, slip bobbers, live bait presentations, and more. Musky-specific tactics may include rippin’ rubber, working glide baits, dive and rise baits, burning bucktails, and more. Trolling can also be a great way to catch fish and take a break from casting. We will connect before your trip and come up with a game plan that works for you.
I am 100% catch and release for muskies. I do support you harvesting legal fish (panfish, walleye, pike) but I do not offer fish cleaning service.
What to bring:
- Dress season appropriate and layers are always a good choice
- Rain gear
- Sun protection
- Bug repellent / head net (optional)
- Food, snacks, and beverages to fuel your day (Cooler space will be available)
- WI fishing license
- Reasonable expectations – if we are musky hunting, they call it the fish of 10,000 casts for a reason. They can be TOUGH to catch.
Equipment provided:
- I will provide all of the fishing gear and any live bait. You certainly can bring your own gear if you’d prefer.
- Space in a cooler
