About Us

My name is Jason Heindl, and I’m a licensed and insured fishing guide with over 20 years of experience on the water. My wife, Ashley, is also a licensed guide and joins me in helping anglers of all ages and skill levels enjoy a great day outdoors.

I truly love sharing the excitement of fishing and the beauty of our lakes. Whether you’re brand new to the sport or looking to sharpen your skills, I’m patient, knowledgeable, and always happy to teach.

Conservation is a core part of what we do. I strongly believe in catch and release for all muskies and for trophy-sized fish of any species. We practice CPR—catch, photo, release—and can recommend a trusted taxidermist who creates high‑quality replica mounts of your catch. While we do enjoy keeping a meal of fish from time to time, the long‑term health of our lakes will always come first.
