About Your Guide

Greetings, I'm Paul Schlagel.  Fishing has truly been a life-long passion for me.  Growing up, nearly all summer days were spent walking to a nearby lake for panfish or riding my bike to the Mississippi for smallmouth.  Since then I’ve fished as far north as Alaska and as far south as Santa Catarina, Brazil, and many points in between. 

It’s been a long time since I was infected with incurable muskie-fever.  My first time out was with another rookie, and we were lucky enough to put two in the boat and I remembered thinking, “That’s not so hard.  What’s the big deal?”  Talk about beginner’s luck! I was hooked.  That was over twenty years ago.

I’m sure glad I started when I did.  All the years spent in dedicated and thoughtful pursuit of musky has brought me to an elite level at a time when my home waters have become the best anywhere.  Living on Mille Lacs during the musky season gives me the opportunity to fish daily on the most productive trophy musky water in North America.  I can share that experience with you. 

Any day on Mille Lacs can turn into a trip-of-a-lifetime experience.  Join me for the best musky fishing in the world and find out for yourself.
