Lake Hopatcong Fishing in NJ

Established in 2019, we are the largest freshwater fishing operation in the region - operating full time guide services on the two premier fisheries in the area, Lake Hopatcong and Greenwood Lake (Greenwood Lake Guide Service). Led by full-time guide and founder, Aaron Graybill, our hand-picked guide-staff is loaded with talented anglers, passion for the sport, and good times. We work tirelessly as a unit, allowing us to cover more water, gain more knowledge, and pattern more fish than would be possible individually. Ultimately, our dedication and team approach leads to the best guided fishing experience our region has to offer. See our trip options below and click on each for more information:

WHAT WE OFFER:


GUIDED FISHING TRIP (UP TO 3 GUESTS)

This is the product that our business was built on - the ultimate experience for a guided multi-species fishing trip in New Jersey. You will enjoy a day of fishing on New Jersey’s largest lake with the guys that know it best. Our large 18.5' and 17.75' Lund Deep-V fishing boats ensure a stable and comfortable day on the water. Both are equipped with top of the line electronics and all high-end fishing rods/tackle are included. Just show up and fish! We truly target the best bites available on the lake throughout the year with a focus on Walleye, Hybrid Stripers, and Panfish.


LARGE GROUP CHARTER (UP TO 8 GUESTS)

This is an awesome way for larger groups to enjoy a privately guided fishing trip on Lake Hopatcong! You will fish with a member of our team of guides aboard our 24' customized fishing pontoon boat. Rods and livebait tackle are included. This trip option came from our desire to encourage our guests to bring their entire family along, invite a second family, bring together large groups of friends, accommodate anglers that are limited physically, host fishing birthday parties, bachelor parties, corporate events, and a variety of other occasions. Great for anglers of all ages and skill levels. 


PROFESSIONAL BASS EXPERIENCE (UP TO 2 GUESTS)

Want to experience a day of professional-level bass fishing? Look no further! You will fish with MLF (Major League Fishing) Toyota Series Pro, Dan Goykhman. His professionally outfitted Skeeter ZXR21 is fully outfitted with Forward Facing Sonar, 360 Imaging, and the top electronics setup on the market. Whether you want to learn more about Forward Facing Sonar, receive tutelage on high-level bass techniques, or just want to experience a great day of bass fishing, this is the trip for you!


TROPHY MUSKY TRIP (UP TO 2 GUESTS)

New Jersey's apex freshwater predator is the fabled Muskellunge. Join LHGS Musky guide, David Park (aka "DKAM Fishing" on social media/YouTube), in the pursuit of the biggest, baddest fish in the region. David is experienced, incredibly knowledgeable, and lives to catch Musky. The fish of 10,000 casts doesn't seem to require that many casts when you fish with David. This trip is capped at two anglers and we recommend higher-level anglers who are competent casting a baitcaster reel.  


GUIDED FLY FISHING TRIP (2 GUESTS MAX)

Fly fishing on New Jersey's top trout streams with our guides, Matt Califano and Justin Linteris, is always an amazing experience. Whether you are just starting out or have been fly fishing for years, their knowledge, knack for teaching, and ability to put anglers on fish will result in a fun, educational, and productive day on the water. You will wade through the pristine waters of northern NJ using hand tied flies in pursuit of Rainbow, Wild Browns, and Native Brook Trout. 


YOUTH FISHING CAMPS

Our Youth Fishing Camps are a blast for all involved! We are passionate about spreading our knowledge and love of fishing to the next generation of anglers and these week-long, half-day summer camps are the ultimate way to do so. Run in collaboration with the Roxbury Twp Recreation Department and Ramsey Outdoor Store, all of our young anglers will learn a lifetime of fishing knowledge from high-level anglers and LHGS guides in one week sessions. Our camps take place at Horseshoe Lake - a stocked lake located on-site at the Roxbury Twp Recreation complex in Succasunna, NJ.
