Your Guide
Hi! My name is Chris Powell, and I am a fishing guide out of Chippewa Falls, WI. I am a married father of two beautiful daughters. I have been an avid fisherman for my entire life. Lake Wissota is just a few miles from home and is where I spend most of my time on the water. It is an excellent fishery for walleyes, smallmouth and catfish which I mainly target. But I don't just stick to Lake Wissota. There is so many more angling opportunities in Wisconsin, it is hard for me to pick a favorite! I may be fly fishing for bluegills on Otter Lake. Or bass fishing at Miller Dam. Maybe looking for yet another trophy brown trout on the Lake Michigan tributaries in November. Or even staying warm with a fishing buddy in my 2 man Eskimo shack, jigging up bluegills, crappies, walleyes and trout. The bottom line is.. I LOVE TO FISH!!!

I opened my guide service in 2007. Shortly thereafter I was featured in article by statewide outdoors journalist Dick Ellis. "Lake Wissota Walleye Action Non-Stop". Soon afterward I was writing articles for Ellis' publication "On Wisconsin Outdoors". This year I am helping organize a fishing tournament series in the Chippewa Valley. I would love to hear from you soon! To schedule your guided fishing adventure call me at 715-577-9771.
