BrianK's Trophy Catfishing & Sturgeon Adventures
Brian Klawitter - Trophy Catfish & Sturgeon Guide
Guided fishing trips on the Minnesota and Wisconsin border waters of the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers
Our Flathead Cat fishing trips generally run from 8:00pm to 1:00am, from the end of May through the end of July depending on the river conditions. Other time arrangements can be made with prior notice.
All bookings require a $75 deposit. No date will be considered "held" until a deposit is received. CLICK HERE to pay your deposit online using a credit card or your checking account. If you would prefer to mail a check or money order, contact me for the mailing address.
Deposits will be refunded if cancellation notice is received 14 days in advance of the scheduled trip.
Weather is always a factor in fishing. If we cancel a trip because of weather, you may ask for a refund of your deposit or to reschedule.
No Catfish Guarantee: If you don't catch a Catfish during your trip, you will receive your trip at half price or the option to reschedule for another day.
Children over 12 and spouses are always welcome to come along!
Please ensure anglers 16 years and older have a valid Minnesota or Wisconsin fishing license.
Minnesota and Wisconsin fishing regulations allow two Flatheads over 24 inches to be harvested per licensed angler.
We at Trophy Catfishing and Sturgeon Adventures strongly encourage catch/photo/release for all Flatheads. All Flats over 10 lbs will be released to ensure that our kids and grandkids will be able to enjoy the magnificent Flathead Catfish!
Your safety is our first concern. Trophy Catfishing and Sturgeon Adventures requires a Personal Flotation Device be worn at all times. We will provide you with the most comfortable PFD on the market today, Float-Tech's inflatable vest/jacket combo, or you may bring your favorite PFD.
Drinks and snacks - Bring any food, drinks, or snacks you would like to have during your trip with you.
We will have a cooler available when you get to the boat ramp and there will be ice available. Please do not plan on bringing your own ice chest with you on the boat.
No alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the boat.
No snacks in a shell, such as nuts and sunflower seeds, will be allowed on the boat. The shells from these types of snacks can plug the boat's bilge pump, causing a safety hazard.
If you need medications make sure you have them with you as well.
Bring your camera - We will have a digital camera on board and will take photos of your catches before we release them and email all the photos to you at the end of our trip.
The river is a very beautiful place and you may want to take photographs of wildlife and scenery before night fall with your own camera.
Bugs can sometimes be a problem as the sunsets. We have a number of different brands of insect repellents on board.
Nights on the Mississippi River can get cool even when it's hot during the day. When temps are below 80 degrees at night, please bring along an extra sweatshirt and a jacket for the ride home. We do not recommend shorts.
