About Dave Dorazio Outdoors

Dave Dorazio began his career in the mid-1960’s as a teenager, guiding guests of his parents’ resort on the Chippewa Flowage. Today, Dave is still guiding on the Chippewa Flowage and other Hayward area lakes in northwestern Wisconsin.

He is a Field Editor for Musky Hunter Magazine, as well as an instructor at its spring and fall University of Esox Musky Schools. Dave is a sought-after seminar speaker, regularly appearing at fishing clubs and sport shows during the hardwater season. He is the former owner of the Eddie Bait Co. and of Dorazio Tackle Co., makers of Bootails.

Besides being on the Pro Staffs of Lund Boats, St. Croix Rods, Minn Kota, Frabill, and Cortland Line, Dave has been featured in the book “Musky Mastery: The Techniques of Top Guides” and numerous magazine articles; including the nationally published Field and Stream Magazine. He has also appeared on these television shows: Discover Wisconsin, Outdoor Wisconsin, The Fishing Guide with Travis Richardson, and Northland Outdoors with Dave Carlson.

For Dave, fishing is a lifestyle, not just an occupation. Although nobody can guarantee a trophy fish every day, Dave’s knowledge and expertise will guarantee a learning experience and an enjoyable day of fishing.

Dave guides for Walleyes and Crappies from the first weekend in May until the middle of June, and he guides for Muskies from Memorial Day weekend in May until the middle of October.
