What Our Clients Say

First and foremost, you guys were awesome. I had such a good time. Jay is very professional, nonjudgmental, dedicated and pretty funny!. I'm sure he was thrilled to see two old guys that he was going to be stuck with for a week! I think you had a good mix of walking and car hunting.

John M

We learned so much from Tony on ice fishing, the questions we had were all answered throughout the trip, catching fish seemed like a bonus. Tony has a vast knowledge of all the ponds and lakes in the area where we wanted to fish. I am looking forward to taking another trip this summer

Dean M

This was one of my best trips with a guide. The view of the spots were just beautiful. Great day with a wonderful lunch. I went back to the spot and caught a couple nice trout with a few tricks you showed me

Patrick L

Highly recommend! We have been battling a groundhog that took residence under our garage all summer. He destroyed our gardens repeatedly, and who knows what other damage he did with his burrow. Nothing we did to evict him worked - and we tried EVERYTHING. Anthony was super nice, professional, and came out to meet with us the day we called him. He checked and reset the traps daily and even removed a skunk! By day 7 that stubborn groundhog finally found its way into the trap, and Anthony took him to his new home. I wish I'd found Thibodeau Outdoor Adventures sooner!!!

Jessica P

Tony put us on the birds last fall. Great views, great company, great action. Would recommend if you are looking to get out there!

Christopher E

Anthony Thibodeau's Outdoor Adventures proved to be a wise choice given the multitude of options available. Anything you could want or ask for on a fishing expedition Tony delivered: on time, proper equipment, correct supplies, excellent service, enjoyable conversationalist, keen listener to specific requests, knowledgeable fisherman, experienced boatsman, competitive price. I intentionally put cost last because, in hindsight, I would have been willing to pay even more had I known the service provided. In a sentence: look no further! I couldn't recommend Tony and his commitment to an outstanding outdoor experience more highly!

Christopher S

We had the best time ice fishing for the first time and Tony was amazing! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We loved every minute of our excursion and would book this trip every weekend if we could. We can't wait to book him again to learn how to fly fish!
