Opening day
Since I was a kid I loved opening day of fishing season. I’m not sure why the day is so magical, by the time May rolls around I’ve usually been Salmon fishing a few times on Lake Superior and walleye fishing on the local rivers and Green Bay. Still every year I’m like a kid again tossing and turning waiting for the alarm to go off.
Living in the north woods hasn’t done much for my condition. The Friday before season the town of Phillips comes alive with people. It’s nice to see after a quite month or so since the end of snowmobiling and ice fishing. The local businesses and charity groups get in on the action with special promotions, bake sales and live music, it’s like the whole town is coming out of hibernation.

My name is Brian Tremel. I'm a Millwright by trade. I also own Northwoods Tackle and Musky Nuts Guide service. Being a guide and lure manufacturer gives me the opportunity for plenty of time on the water.
I have fished for musky my whole life ,catching my first over thirty years ago on Cresent lake in Rhinelander,WI. But the musky bug never bit me as hard as it did when we moved to Phillips,Wi. With plenty of prime musky waters within minutes of our home and a group of local musky addicts to help fuel the fire, I became obsessed.
