Hello!  I am glad you stopped in!  As you know, my name is Craig Nels.  As a lifelong resident of Upstate, NY, I have had the privilege of learning how to fish our great local waters.  Through my tournament fishing, I also have been fortunate enough to travel much of the country sampling other state's fishing.  I can tell you this...we are LUCKY to have such a variety of great fishing opportunities. 

As much as personally catching fish, I love seeing others enjoy our great fishing resources, which is what brings me to guiding today!  While I mainly target bass, both largemouth and smallmouth, I enjoy the thrill of catching most any of our area's fish.  I am sure you will too.  As I guide, I will strive to not only keep you in and around fish, but I will also try and teach about "why" and "where" we are fishing that day.  Fishing is much more than just casting and reeling, and I enjoy the process of teaching others about the many details of the sport. 

I invite you onto my Ranger Boat for an enjoyable day out on the water!
You will be fishing aboard a 2009 Ranger Z520 powered by a Yamaha 250 Outboard. The electric motor is a MinnKota with 101lbs of thrust.  The Sonar and GPS duties are taken care of by Lowrance and Humminbird electronics.
