Imagine your face above!


I am offering a evening guided cat or sturgeon trip for two people in support of the Brandon Rolen Foundation. All proceeds from the auction of this trip will go directly to the Foundation. For more about Brandon and his family, read this.

The trip will take place on Pool 3, 4 or the St Croix River. Please select a date from the dates by clicking on the calander tab on my website www.idacatguides.com . If there's a conflicting date, let me know and we'll work something out.


This is a $300 guide trip. All you'll need to bring is your fishing license, and a smile! ...maybe some clothing depending upon the date selected.

This auction will end at noon on Wednesday February 27. Please place your bid via PM to me.

Thanks ALL!


PS Sorry I was late with this...just back from the Madison Expo...and because of the road felt better about driving back in the day light.

Speaking as someone who has spent a few nights on the River with BK, I can assure you you will find yourself in a position where you may be reeling in the largest fish of your life! It's always fun fishing with bait that is big enough to eat yourself!

PS, if you bring cookies, make sure to bring extra for the Captain.

I'll vouch for Brian knowing where some big kitties lurk also! This will be a good trip regardless.

If your chasing flatheads, I would recommend sometime in around mid June, if you want sturgeon the best trips are usually around the 1st of October.

BK, when I read this line, I chuckled since it sounds like you can bring some clothing or not, whatever you want... hence, I think this is why Cougar made the clothing optional comment

Briank always likes to guide 2 people. One catches fish and the other just gets snags. Maybe it was just me.

BK... I received Cougareye's check today. I sure hope you you're able to put him on a fish of a life time.

From the Rolen family and from all of us here at IDA... you guys have touched our hearts and helped a wonderful young boy and you have our sincerest thanks.

Can't wait. I've wanted to try catfishing for awhile now. Should be good pulling out those golden rough fish!

Just checking in here from sunny FL. Was out fishing in area around Ft. Myers. Caught my first red. Had quite a day. Pics when I return!
