Hailing from Northern Minnesota, Tony Roach was raised in a boat and on the ice, schooled in all things fishy by his father, as well as his great uncle, the legendary Gary “Mr. Walleye” Roach. On the water over 250 days a year, T-Roach has been a year-around professional guide for over a decade, operating the highly successful Roach’s Guide Service on famed Mille Lacs, Minnesota.
Besides a rare talent for live bait rigging walleyes in open water, Roach devised the innovative “ice trolling” system, which has been highlighted in the national media. He appears frequently on television, seminars and in print publications, including In-Fisherman Ice Guide TV, Mid West Outdoors, and Game & Fish, Outdoor News and In-Fisherman magazines.
