PJ Smith is an Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Guide in SW Wisconsin. He fished conventional gear his whole life until he was introduced to fly fishing and the trout waters of the Wisconsin Driftless area. What started as a hobby turned into a part time business and in 2018 his dream of being a full time guide was realized. PJ has put thousands of miles on his truck to explore the streams & rivers around the state. His passion for the sport was his motivation to fish more and learn the waters in order to provide clients with an exceptional experience. Some of the best trout water in the midwest, is right here in Wisconsin. Trout aren’t the only fish species you can catch on a fly rod. PJ also guides for smallmouth bass, pike and musky. Together with his wife, Donna, they run guided fly fishing trips, seminars and weekend retreats to teach fly fishing. Come fish the quiet waters with PJ, he hopes to meet you on the water soon!
