About Your Guide
Ryan Bunnell-USCG Licensed OUPV Captain
Ryan grew up fishing with his dad on Lake of the Woods, Red lake, and the Red River. You could say that Dad inspired the addiction, but the walleyes got him hooked. When Ryan was 13, he was in the newspaper for building a raft that he used to "get closer to the fishing hole". The DNR found out and requested that Ryan register his makeshift boat. It was an adventure, and it still gives Ryan's Dad a good laugh to this day. After graduating high school, Ryan went off to the Marine Corps to proudly serve his country as an 1812 Tank Crewmen (RIP 1812). In 2014, Ryan started his first business venture, Marine Clean, which eventually led him to Stillwater. Ryan settled down with his family in Stillwater and learned the fishing opportunities the St. Croix River has been so very blessed with. A passion for fishing and a desire to learn led Ryan to pursue a dream of becoming a fishing guide.
"I love to fish, and I was fortunate enough to meet some great fishermen and friends who have fished the St. Croix River for 30+ years. They've taught me so much about fishing this river, and I'm excited to share our fishing adventures with you. " -Captain Ryan Bunnell
