Our Mission:

To provide you with a safe and exciting world-class Salmon and Trout sports fishing experience.

About Us:

Murphy’s Law is captained by Brian Murphy who has been fishing the Great Lakes for better than four decades. There’s a long line of anglers who broke their personal records with Capt. Brian, which is why so many of them return year after year. This charter also covers all the bases for novice anglers, so it’s a great way to learn a new skill and catch your first fish on the same day.

Spend the day trolling, looking for lake species to bite. You can catch Chinook and Coho Salmon and two types of Trout – Steelhead and Lake. The great thing about the catch is that you get to keep it after the trip, so bring your cooler to keep it fresh.

All fishing equipment is included in the price. You’ll need to purchase your own fishing license and prepare some snacks and drinks for the day.
