"If you’re looking for huge Tiger Muskies and massive Lake Trout, Bryce is the guy you want to hire. Every year Bryce is consistently catching the largest fish I know of. No one is more dialed in! Of course catching fish is the main reason to hire a guide, but you should also have a good time while doing it. Bryce is not only a great angler-he’s a great guy. I can’t think of a better guide to spend my time with chasing Tigers and trout."

"To go fishing with Bryce is a treat in itself. This guy is fun energetic and will work his ass off to put you on fish! He does not only pride himself on being a good fisherman on good days but is willing to put in the work and grind it out on the hard ones. He strives to understand the species he is trying to catch, weather it be rainbows all the way to walleye. He will put you on fish and make it a good time without question! The insight and wisdom one can learn from a guy like Bryce is priceless, a valuable tool in ones arsenal. I have personally learned a lot more in my outings with him, weather it be presentation or simply color. If your goal is to catch fish, have fun doing so, make a new friend in the process then you should absolutely book a trip with Reel escape outfitters! P.S. Bryce will geek out on the fish, this is certain, and you’ll know it when you see it."
"Bryce’s passion for chasing and catching tiger muskies was so impressive that Keyes Outdoors drove 26 hours just to fish and film with him. Bryce is always on fish and know how to catch them. Not to mention the most important thing he's a super cool dude and really enjoyed the time on the water with him."

"Not just a guide, but a friend. You will be blown away at the people skills that Bryce Scanlon produces. He isn’t just about putting you on fish, but about the whole process. The sights, the facts, the people, and the fish. Bryce has spent 20+ years chasing toothy critters. He has mastered the art from float tubes in the beginning, to a beautiful crestliner currently. Bryce is well connected with some of the best musky guides in the world and most of the big bait makers. From burning big buck tails in the shallows, to trolling through deep schools of panfish, he has mastered these methods and everything in between. I have to commend Bryce’s ability to find and stick fish. Musky are a fish that take thousands of hours on the water to truly understand. Temperature changes and bait fish movement can change the game in hours and Bryce knows how to be fluid and make those moves. I know very few people who Have more hours chasing big toothy critters. Not only does Bryce know how to catch them, but he knows how to handle them as well. Bryce has always, and will always, be a critical part of musky management. From tagging fish, creating habitat, cleaning up the waters, and educating people on handling skills; Bryce truly cares about these magnificent fish. Bryces passion in life translates in to his love for musky and for people. I have had more success and pure enjoyment fishing with Bryce than anyone else I have ever fished with. You can’t go wrong in booking a trip with Reel Escape Outfitters!"
"I started fishing with Bryce about ten years ago. Together, we have targeted a wide variety of fish from the northwoods of Minnesota all the way out to Utah. Whether it is lake trout, tiger muskies, crappies, or walleyes, Bryce pursues them with the same passion and enthusiasm. He truly lives and breathes fishing. He works hard to put the odds in your favor, regularly communicating with his network of diehard fisherman friends, ensuring that you’re always on a hot bite. Nobody outworks Bryce on the water. He’s a top notch guide and an all around great guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book a day on the water with him. "
