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.

As in past years, our annual trip with Wilderness Air was terrific. This past trip to Wasa Lake was the best ever for me personally, the greatest walleye fishing I have ever had! I have certainly caught larger walleyes in my time but have never caught so may in the 18"- 22" range, at times almost one after another. We had more rain this time than any other but even that didn't dampen anything. Once again, Wilderness thought of everything, from courteous employees to great pilots to immaculate aircraft to great accommodations. Thanks for the memories!
