Christina Truppe grew up with a rod in her hand and today she chases her passion one cast at a time as a St. Germain fishing guide. Dividing her time between working as a traveling nurse and taking people of all ages out on the water, she’s owner of Christina Truppe Musky Guide Service. Truppe shared a few details about her guide business and what makes St. Germain such a special area for anglers.
Truppe’s fishing background
I was born with musky fishing in my blood – my dad and grandpa were both avid musky fishermen and they had me on the boat before I was two years old. I caught my first musky in St. Germain when I was 11 years old, and that is when the addiction started. 99% of my time on the water is spent targeting muskies. I have an appreciation for other fish species, but there is an unmatched adrenaline rush and gratifying feeling that for me only comes with musky fishing. Some of my favorite fisheries include lakes in and around the St. Germain area.
Why Truppe operates her business out of the St. Germain area
My love for musky fishing in the St. Germain area is the sole reason why I moved here full time four years ago, and I have created my entire life around it. I have been fishing these waters for my entire life, and I started Christina Truppe Musky Guide Service here two seasons ago. This area sees a lot of tourist traffic, and a good number of them are fishermen. It’s gratifying to be able to share my love for musky fishing with others who appreciate it as much as I do.
What is special about fishing in St. Germain?
St. Germain offers a variety of reliable fisheries with public access; there are clear water lakes, stained water lakes, deep lakes, shallow lakes, weeds, rocks and even rivers – you name it, and we’ve got it here. There are a variety of species to target within these lakes and rivers – including panfish, trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, musky, walleye and northern pike.
Who does St. Germain appeal to?
St. Germain is a perfect destination for fishermen, because there is something to offer here for everyone. Whether a fisherman wants to throw on their waders and cast for smallmouth in a bouldery river or hop in a boat and cast for the fish of 10,000 casts, this area has it all. St. Germain has bountiful lake and fish populations, knowledgeable bait shops like Last Cast Fishing Outfitters, and several fishing guides available.
What are the advantages of working with a guide?
The St. Germain area is home to a handful of knowledgeable fishing guides. Fishing guides are great tools for even experienced anglers. Hiring a guide serves many purposes. First and foremost, a guide is hired to teach you the most efficient techniques to catch your target species. A guide will show and teach you about bait presentations, gear, structure, patterns, proper fish handling, boat control, electronics, seasonal transitions, and how to cast and figure eight if need be. For an average person vacationing to the Northwoods for a week or a weekend, their time on the water is limited. Hiring a guide can provide you with the knowledge necessary to make your time on the water more productive.
What are some popular fishing lakes in St. Germain?
A few of the popular fishing lakes in St. Germain include: Big Saint Germain Lake, Little Saint Germain Lake, Lost Lake, Found Lake, Pickerel Lake and Lake Content.
