Terry Peterson WI Fishing Guide

Terry Peterson - 

I met National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Famer Terry Peterson in 1992, and he's been instrumental in my guiding career. Terry has guided in the Hayward Lakes region of Wisconsin for over 40 years, and his knowledge of these waters and the fish that inhabit them is unmatched. Terry's customer service and approach to fishing translates to any angler fortunate enough to be in his boat.  His captivating personality, contagious laugh, and uncanny ability to consistently catch fish have earned him a loyal following of customers that keeps him busy throughout the open water season.  Any day on the water spent with Terry is a good day for those fortunate to find an opening in his calendar.

Terry passed away on February 13th, 2022.  Our lakes, lives, and fishing are all better because of him, and he will always be our partner.  The Terry Peterson Fishing Foundation was created in 2023 with a simple mission...  GIVE BACK TO FISHING.  That's just what he would want.  To learn more and how to donate go to www.terrypetersonff.com.
