“Collin taught me the tricks of casting and getting the fly to land in the right spots. Our boat had a blast and caught plenty of fish with a couple of monsters to cap off the day.”
Guide Collin Cody
River Smallmouth
Join Collin for a day casting flies on one of Northern Minnesota's scenic rivers. Collin floats the rivers using a western style drift boat (skiff) while 1-2 people cast for fish. Days on the river are what Collin lives for and it's his goal to share that passion with you during your trip up to the North Country. While here, plan on targeting large populations of smallmouth bass with some true trophy sized fish willing to play throughout periods of the day. When the smallmouth bass aren't willing, Northern Pike are a great consolation prize.
Rates (1-2 people):

Musky and Northern Pike
Chase the apex predators of Minnesota’s lakes and rivers. This isn’t a numbers game, but there is nothing like the rush of seeing a 4 foot long shadow hunt down your fly or lure! The spring and fall offer some of his favorite fishing on the area lakes for these predators. Make sure to inquire about those experiences as well. Watching these species eat oversized streamers or top water flies is truly an exhilarating experience.
