Challzavix
On the water

Expert lake fishing, one angler at a time

Three guides, one mission, and a philosophy we've held for over a decade: teach anglers to catch fish the right way.

How we started

It began with a single rod

Challzavix started from a small river bank shelter, with one fishing net and years of accumulated knowledge about where bass fishing really happens.

The operation has grown and we now run trips on three lakes, but every catch is still handled with care, and every angler leaves knowing more than when they arrived.

We limit our bookings so each trip stays personal. It keeps the fishing genuine and your success real.

If we wouldn't fish that spot ourselves or recommend that technique to a friend, we won't teach it to you.

Bass, pike and panfish

We source our tackle from specialist makers we know and trust, and keep only what we'd use on our own expeditions.

Every technique we teach comes from real experience on the water—nothing theoretical, nothing we haven't proven works for catching fish in lakes and rivers.
