I have fished with Royal Karels for over thirty years. I have been impressed with my friend's honesty and integrity. We have caught countless bass, northern and walleye pike. Many bass were over 5 pounds. We have caught walleyes 32" long (over 10 lbs.) These fish were caught and released. On these long winter nights I count the days when I will again be fishing with Royal and his sons.

Save time and money, let Royal take you to the fish - plus you'll fish in comfort!
Royal supports catch and release.
