Glen’s favorite fishing story that he loves to retell
“I was on a guide trip in my boat watching a guy, fighting what I think is a giant walleye, he would gain on the fish then the drag would go out. I’m standing next to him with the net and when he gets it close to the boat it was a cannon down rigger. He was slightly embarrassed.”

Walleye fishing is Glen’s favorite with using live-bait rigs and jigs. He enjoys taking families and relatives out fishing. Especially fishing with his best friend, Leighton. Glen likes fishing the first two hours of daylight usually during the Spring and Fall the best.

Glen has been guiding for more than 30 years. He has guided over 4000 trips. He has fished the Camp Confidence Tourney with one first place finish and other second and third place finishes.
