Review Highlights

Wilderness Air Escapes earns consistently strong ratings, with every reviewer giving five stars. Guests repeatedly describe their trips as memorable and well-organized. The company has a loyal repeat customer base. One reviewer said it was their ninth trip with the outfitter and called all visits excellent. Reviews are enthusiastic throughout, and expectations match the experience.

Guests highlight the quality of fishing as a clear strength. Crooked Lake is a productive destination with Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Northern Pike. Staff and pilots receive consistent praise for being helpful, knowledgeable about local rules and regulations, and personable. Small touches, such as allowing a child to sit up front during the flight, add to the experience. Guests count the scenic float plane rides as a highlight, not just a means of transportation.

Reviewers raise no recurring complaints. Wilderness Air Escapes suits groups of friends or family members, particularly fathers and sons, looking for a remote fly-in fishing trip in a wilderness setting. It also fits multi-species anglers, first-time fly-in guests who want attentive guidance, and anglers who value repeat reliability over novelty.

Outfitter

Well, we've only been away from the lake for a week and we can't wait to get back! Your outfit was a find that couldn't be beat. Devlin Lake was all you said it would be and more. We spent 10 glorious days and caught over 500 fish. The look on Rick's face when he landed the first big Northern Pike was the best part for me. It was the 3rd day and Rick had 38 inches of heart-pounding Northern fight on 8 lb test and a light rod. Not to mention the 80 plus walleye that graced our boat. When you said the place was stocked, you meant it! The boats were in excellent shape and the motors always started on the first pull. We really appreciated the professionalism and the friendliness of the entire staff.
