Scott is a multi-species angler, although his specialized species is: Walleye, Crappie and Sunfish. While catching fish is a top priority when guiding clients, Scott wants to make each trip a learning experience to ensure that his clients leave with more than just fish in their cooler, but they leave with tips and techniques that will put more fish in their boat long after the end of their guide trip.

Scott is currently only guiding open water trips due to sponsor commitments throughout the winter, if you have a strong preference to ice fish with Scott, please reach he will do his best to accommodate your request.

Scott is on the pro staff teams of Clam Outdoors, Lowrance and Alumacraft. He has been featured in media outlets such as the Star Tribune, Outdoor News, Jason Mitchell Outdoors, Lindy Fish Ed and WCCO TV’s Goin’ to the Lake Series.
