Redbeard Bowfishing operates in Wisconsin Dells and offers guided bowfishing experiences on the upper Dells of the Wisconsin River. The business focuses on private, 2-hour Quick Trip Day tours that combine scenic river travel with active bowfishing for big fish among the area's distinctive rock formations. Each Quick Trip Day tour is led by a professional guide who provides on-water direction and ensures the tour follows local waterways and safety considerations.
Trips run along the upper Dells corridor, highlighting rock formations and scenic stretches of the Wisconsin River while providing opportunities to target big fish species with bowfishing techniques. The Quick Trip Day tour is designed as a short, high-energy outing suitable for individuals, couples, or small groups who prefer a compact, private experience rather than a full-day excursion.
