LOCAL KNOWLEDGE THAT COMES FROM DECADES ON THE WATER

Aquatic Arts has been at this location on the Wisconsin River and Lake Mohawksin for more than 40 years. Our staff includes retired fishing guides, active anglers, and people who spend a lot of time fishing the local rivers, lakes, and flowages. We know what’s working, where anglers are having success, and which baits, tackle, and techniques make sense for the conditions. If you’re not sure what to use or where to start, ask us.


FRESH, CLEAN LIVE BAIT

     Our glass-front minnow tanks use a closed-loop filtration and chilling system designed to keep bait healthy and fresh. Water continuously leaves the tanks, passes through a large filtration system, then runs through a chiller before returning at a steady cool temperature. We also receive fresh bait deliveries up to four times per week, helping us keep a steady supply of clean, lively minnows ready to fish.


TACKLE CHOSEN FOR LOCAL WATERS

     With more than 12,000 fishing items in stock, Aquatic Arts carries a wide selection for anglers fishing the Tomahawk area. You’ll find everything from old go-to classics to the newest baits and tackle anglers are talking about, along with the proven colors and lures we know work on local rivers, lakes, and flowages. The goal is simple: have what you’re looking for, and help you choose what actually works here.


GUIDED FISHING WITH LOCAL EXPERIENCE

    Our guide, Tim Buffington of L.V.O. Sport Fishing, spends his days on the water and follows fish patterns throughout the entire season. That time on the water gives him a strong read on changing conditions, seasonal movements, and where fish are likely to be holding—even on the tough days when they’re harder to find. For anglers who want to learn the area, improve their approach, or simply put more fish in the boat, guided trips offer direct access to current local knowledge.
