  St. Croix River Fishing Good fishing... beautiful scenery... historic river towns. We’ll hook you up.


Lower St. Croix River
South of St. Croix Falls, WI the St. Croix River eventually widens and the current slows. Here you will find prime habitat for the largest fish in the river, including sturgeon and flathead catfish.
Walleye fishing is the most popular among local anglers. These “golden fish” are fairly common. Compared to many lakes and rivers in the region, the definition of a keeper is generous (any fish over 15 inches). No slot! You can take home up to six walleye or sauger (no size limitation on sauger).
Smallmouth bass also receive a significant amount of attention. If you're persistent, you can find bronzebacks measuring in excess of 20 inches. Please practice catch-and-release on these prized, slow growing fish.
 
Upper St. Croix River
The Upper St. Croix River is known as one of the finest smallmouth bass fisheries in the nation. You can find great action on topwater baits including floating minnow imitations or flys. There is also good trout fishing near its source in Douglas County.

Upper St. Croix River

Visit the Website 		  Bob Bickford's guide service is modeled after those found in the western United States, where the guide-to-client ratio is one guide per one or two anglers. All trips are conducted on moving water, i.e. rivers. The trips can be in the form of a (walk-in) wade fishing trip for trout, or from a drift boat (float-trip) for bass, pike, or muskie. Bob specializes in fly-fishing, but he can accommodate anglers who prefer to spin-fish.
