Brad and I have been going with Den, a local fishing guide, for many years. It has become a traditional event. Brad has missed a time and Derrill went with me. But a trip to Big Trout isn't complete without a guided trip with Den. We catch only Bass, mostly jigging with plastic purple worms. We just told Den to take us fishing with him the first time we went. We don't care if we keep any. So, Den takes us to the best spots because we throw every fish back! The trip is only for one 4-hour-afternoon. Den brings everything, but we use our fancy G. Loomis rods. Usually, we catch over 40 amongst the 3 of us. Last time out it was 50 something, and good size of 2 to over 3 pounds. Mostly large mouth bass.
Den gives a fishing seminar during the summer in Pine River, down by the park next to the river. Den has a steady clientele, and you have to book him early. It is a day with Brad I always enjoy, although he and Den catch the most fish.
