Client Testimonials

I just wanted to send a note and let you know how great of a day we had today fishing with your company. First, we came to Grand View Lodge on a weekend getaway. We called yesterday evening and found an opening for this morning at 8. I knew it was going to be a great time, even during the phone call. I believe we spoke with Dan’s wife and she was so kind and accommodating. I had explained that my wife had never been fishing before and that I was an experienced angler and the opportunity to get out after such late notice was nothing more than exciting for us. Bruce met us early at the dock and was prepared from the get go. We fished in the absolute densest fog I have ever experienced but hit our first points and were immediately on walleye’s. My wife got her first taste of catching fish and we were having a blast. To make a long story short, Bruce was absolutely outstanding. Not only did he help Michelle, but he was kind and knew where to go. We laughed, we caught fish and most of all, we had an experience my wife will not soon forget. To make the day better, my wife, holding true to “beginners luck” caught a 26” walleye and short of elated, I couldn’t believe it, even though I had a hunch that it was a “beginners luck” day. For my wife’s first experience with fishing, this was the best!

I wont carry on, but I have to say the day couldn’t have been better. We own a family resort on Balsam Lake WI, I take customers fishing and know what it is like to be a guide and service customers. I have to say, you guys are incredible, you know how to make memories and service your clients from the moment their feet touch to boat to when the fish are cleaned, and in the bag. Bruce was just a true joy and made the day that much more special. I know what it is like to own a business and positive feedback is always nice but “constructive” feedback is even better and I can say, I don’t have any, everything was flawless and perfect.

Thank you for such a fun experience. My wife and I take a fall “getaway” every year for our anniversary (this year 10 years) and we plan to make Gull lake and Walleye Dan’s an annual event. We are both 32 with a 6 year old boy and a 3 year old little “princess” and this getaway may soon include our kids and we would love to bring them with on the fishing excursion.....or perhaps we will just keep it “our” little getaway! :)

Please give my thanks to Bruce, and plan for us next year!

Thank you once again.

Walleye Dan,

Braden and I would just like to say thank you again for a great trip on Leech. It is a trip that him or I will not soon forget. He talks about the trip all the time and yesterday we were out on Whitefish and he had to do the fish call you showed him..... and yes it worked. We ended up releasing a 22 1/2 inch walleye. Fun stuff. I have attached the pictures from our trip with you. I did hear that you and Braden made the paper (The Northland Press I think). I will have to try to find a copy. Anyway thanks again and hopefully we can do it again soon.

PS: Let me know if you still need that bait boy / boat washer!!!

Dan,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the great fishing last Monday morning, we all really enjoyed it. The boys are still talking about the outing and how fun it was, and of course Michael has been walking on air after catching that big Northern!

Thanks again for being a great guide, and especially for helping me make some great memories for my kids!!

Best regards,

Bill Huffstutler


Hi Dan,

Thanks for an awesome fishing trip. It was one of those exceptional days where everything was perfect. The bass fishing was great, weather outstanding, and we got to spend time with good friends. We look forward to making this an annual trip.

Thanks Again,

Kevin

I would like to thank you for the best fishing trip I have yet to have last Friday. You made some unforgettable memories for me, my dad, and the kids. It is always our pleasure to fish with you or one of your guides. Your services are hands down the best in the industry. I was wondering if you could send me any pictures that you might have of the walleye that Jaxon caught. Also I thought I heard you say something about that picture going in some weekly paper. If that is the case could you let me know how I could obtain a copy of that. We are looking forward to our next trip with you this fall.

Thank You

Matt Debol
