Customer satisfaction is very important here at CRA. This is what people are saying about their adventures with us.

My family and I had a great guided canoe trip with Anthony/CRA. It was a fun and relaxed adventure and learned a lot from Anthony along the way! CRA is smart way to learn the water, stay safe and enjoy your trip.

Went on a tour with CRA today, it was an amazing adventure! I learned the different casting angles, the type of rod and line to use to be more successful, how to read the stream, where the fish are most likely to be hiding and much more! Anthony
taught me how to fish with a worm on streams too.
I've had my trout license in the past, but don't believe I've ever caught any trout. This year my husband and I decided to try this sport instead of regular fishing. As an avid angler, I've really grown to like trout fishing. I like it more and more I go out. Using the knowledge that Anthony gave me, I will continue to heed his advice and continue to learn. I hope to fish with him again some day.
Anthony is a great person to leisure chat with too. He's not critical if you accidentally snag on the other side or miss the area he wants you to cast. Don't feel bad if you don't get it right the first time, it's a whole new way to fish if you're not used to trout fishing. He stays very calm and collected and lets you keep trying. I enjoyed trout fishing today, glad it wasn't raining! With his guidance, I was able to catch trout too! All in all, it was a great learning experience! Thank You again Anthony! Highly Recommended!

Check out the Illinois Outdoor TV Show that Anthony and I were a part of to get a sample of what CRA and La Crosse has to offer as a fishing destination. I also caught the largest fish of my life fishing with Anthony this spring. A whopper Lake
Sturgeon on 6 lb. test line !!!

Alisha, Tyler and I spent the afternoon with Tony ice fishing in Lacrosse 02/12/11 and had a wonderful time spending the day outdoors. We learned a lot about ice fishing as well as some important safety tips of being out on the ice. Tony showed us from beginning to end what needed to be done for a comfortable & safe set up which is important. We caught a few fish.... but most of all I was able to spend the day outdoors with two of my favorite people and made a new friend.
Thanks Tony - Next time I'll catch the BIG One`

I fished with Anthony in a couple different locations along the Mississippi River just a couple weeks ago. Did a TV show with him that will be seen on Illinois Outdoors TV, Comcast Cable in the Chicago market on February 5. We caught some nice fish through the ice under some tough conditions, air temps, not wind chill, were 12 below zero on Sunday morning we headed to the river. Anthony did a great job, worked hard as a guide and was determined to ensure that we had a good time and were on fish. Thanks Anthony

Thanks so much for a great day of fishing on the Mississippi River! I actually know what I'm doing
now! We were very happy with our hotel room and greatly appreciate everything you did for us! We will hopefully get to do it again in about a year! :)

We had a great time with CRA! Been on a couple fishing trips with Anthony and have not been let down. Keeping two kids (10 and 8) interested is normally a difficult task, but not for CRA. Anthony does an exceptional job with the kids. They learned a lot and had fun at the same time. The shore lunch was awesome!!! My finicky eater even ate a fresh trout. I would definitely recommend CRA for a family fun trip. Looking forward to another trip in the fall.

Since I don't have a boat, I figured would give CRA a call for a guide. I thoroughly enjoyed myself
and had a great time. Some guides will just get you to the fish and then that's it. There is no adventure or conversation. I got both with Anthony. I have gotten to know Anthony as a genuine and caring person who not only will care for you as a customer, but also and a friend. And where else can you go trout fishing with a shore lunch included. If you have kids that want to fish, they will have a blast.

You are always guaranteed a great time with CRA! No matter where you go or what you do there is
sure to be an adventure. Be it camping or fishing Coulee Region Adventures really knows the right place to go to ensure you have a great time and stories to tell. CRA knows where to fish for whatever you are looking for whether it be
Northern Pike, Trout, Bass or a day catching bluegills. Everything is provided for you just be prepared to have a great time!
Jean Marie Jones
Had an awesome time fishing with CRA! My first time out since I was a kid and I was catching fish in
no time! Amazing! Bait and gear is provided, all you need is your fishing license and be prepared for fun and fishing. I was a total beginner and I had a great time. CRA knows where to go and what to do - you just show up and be prepared for some action! can't wait to do a canoeing/camping trip in the fall,
know I will NOT be disappointed!

Recently Anthony took 3 of us on an ice-fishing trip to the famed Cranberry Bogs in Wisconsin. Anthony was a
gracious and knowledgeable host. He had all the tools, including enough tip-ups to keep us going all day. I have fished with Anthony in the past, and his knowledge of fishing techniques is second to none. He took us to some very picturesque locations, and the fishing is a blast. Looking forward to a warm up so we can go after some trout!
