Mille Lacs Fishing Guide: Jeff Hanson

RON SCHARA RECOMMENDED!

"Jeff Hanson is extremely personable and an excellent guide." -- Ron Schara.

There's a reason why Jeff Hanson is one of the best guides on Mille Lacs Lake: He fishes more than 125 days a year. Including a few days with Ron, which you might have seen featured on "Minnesota Bound." If you're after walleyes, smallmouth bass, northern pike or muskies on famous Mille Lacs Lake, Jeff's your guy.

I am writing this on behalf of Jeff Hanson. Jeff has been my fishing guide on Mille Lacs several times in the last four years.

I don't know of anyone who knows the lake better than Jeff. He has taken me to fish every time I have gone with him. This summer while fishing with Jeff, I caught three of the four biggest walleye's I have caught in my lifetime (and I am not a young man). On that same trip I caught eight fish over 24 inches.

Jeff knows more than just the fishing holes. He is knowledgeable about the lake and the habits of the fish. He is an expert with the locator and GPS. He amazes me as we go to new spots and he knows there are fish, and not only fish, but also some big ones in those spots.

Jeff is a servant! He makes everyone feel comfortable and relates well with young and old. He provides everything the fisherman needs and more including rods and reels, tackle, bait and even takes pictures of the fish you catch. I don't even have to touch the fish! He baits the hook, finds the right depth, tells me where the fish are, nets them, takes them off the hook and measures them. When we are finished for the day he cleans and bags them for me.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my fishing trips with Jeff Hanson and give him my highest recommendation.
