Guide Service

I spent my early days chasing smallmouth bass and trout on SE Minnesota streams and for the past 30 years fishing the Mississippi river as a multi species fisherman. Whether it's fishing for bass, muskys, walleyes, northerns or panfish my game plan for the day is to provide you with an enjoyable experience. I will work hard to provide a safe and informative trip.

My name is Jon Navratil and I have over 20 years of fishing experience whether it's guiding or as a tournament angler. I specialize in fishing the Mississippi river from St. Cloud to Brainerd. Ask about Musky trips on the upper Mississippi river! (320) 274-5350
