Wisconsin Fly Fishing

Driftless Trout, Smallmouth Bass, & More

We guide on two of the most distinct fisheries in the Midwest — the spring creeks of the Driftless Region and the Lower Wisconsin River. Whether you're after technical Driftless trout, hard-fighting Wisconsin River smallmouth, or apex predators like musky and pike, we have a trip built for it. Day outings, multi-day fish camps, and everything in between. Located about an hour from Madison and three hours from Chicago.

“…this may be the most unique smallmouth bass fishery in the world.”

    “It's official, Kyle and crew are top of the game. Nothing is left out when they plan a trip for you. Fishing, food, accommodations, conversations, extracurricular activities - just perfect. One of THE BEST outfits I've ever had the pleasure spending time and fishing with.”

    “Had a glorious morning fishing on the WI River with Kyle and my kids (8 & 10). Kyle's adept read of our fishing party allowed him to provide just the right balance of spin fishing, fly fishing 101 instruction and sandbar play to keep everyone entertained. All in all it was a memorable experience. Special thx to Kyle for an awesome day!”

    “We have been fishing with Black Earth angling for at least 5 years now. We have never had a bad experience. Always great food, great company , new fly fishing techniques learned and fish in the boat or on the bank. You will not be disappointed with Kyle and his crew ! I highly recommend booking some time and guarantee you will learn lots of new things.”

    ”We had a fabulous time fly fishing with Wyatt! He was incredibly patient with us two 50+ year old women :) We laughed a lot, caught fish and learned so much. Can't wait to go fly fishing again. Black Earth Angling was easy to book with, communicated everything we need to know and more.”

    “I make a trip to Wisconsin from the west every summer to fish with Black Earth Angling Co. Book as many days as you can because it's always a good time! Kyle is so knowledgeable about the river and flows and know how to navigate the intricacies of the river so well. Never a dull moment! Lunch is home made and delicious too!”

    ”I have had the pleasure of fishing with Kyle since the beginning, for over 7 years. Each time we fish together I walk away with a better understanding and appreciation of the fish we search for and the environment where they can be found. Kyle certainly makes you mechanically a better fisherman, but more importantly, he makes us better stewards of the world we live in.”

    “I have fished with Black Earth Angling Co every year for the last six. Every time the trip is over, I start looking forward to the following year's outing. Kyle is as professional as it gets when it comes to fly fishing guides. He works hard to make sure that fly fisherman at all levels get the most out of their day on the water with him; whether it be advanced fly fishers looking for the next challenge, or beginners just starting their adventure in the fly fishing world. I have never had a disappointing day with Black Earth Angling.”
