Welcome to the Madison Wisconsin Musky Fishing Guide Service Jeff Hanson - Professional Madison Chain of Lakes Muskie Fishing Guide
My name is Jeff Hanson and I have been a resident of Madison, Wisconsin all of my life. I am a lifelong fisherman and outdoorsman. I have been a professional muskie fishing guide on the Madison Chain of Lakes here in Wisconsin for 17 years.
I fish exclusively for the "fish of a thousand casts" the MUSKY. I have been fascinated and obsessed with these fish since I was a young boy. I hope to pass some of my passion for this sport on to you as part of our time together.
From the beginning of Musky season in May through the colder months into October and November, I call the the Madison Chain of Lakes my second home. Depending upon the season and weather conditions I fish Lakes Monona, Wingra, Waubesa, Mud Lake and the Yahara River. I also guide on Twin Valley Lake in Dodgeville. I can find fish for the casual beginner or the seasoned veteran alike.
Whether you are looking for that first legal-size fish or the trophy of a lifetime, I have the knowledge and experience to help you realize that dream. Spend a day on the water with me on the Madison Wisconsin Chain of Lakes and learn proven musky catching techniques.
