What others say about your Guide Jason Wilhelm:

Kaj 'Bushy' Busch:
"Some things are just meant to be. Apple pie goes with cream, night follows day – and Jason Willhelm should be a barra guide.

This guy guided me to my first impoundment barra and taught me everything I know about impoundment barra. "

Ian ‘Barra' Miller:
"The most important aspect of Jason Wilhelm's character as a professional guide is that he is a genuinely talented angler – not just someone who likes fishing and wants to be on the water every day.

He could be successful on any species but he has chosen barra and Lake Awoonga to be his specialty and the massive amount of time he has amassed on the lake during all conditions and seasons means no other has an understanding of the place and the fish like Jason does! "

John Haenke:
"Without a doubt, Jason is one of the most consistent anglers that we have worked with: he has always produced the fish needed for a successful shoot, using innovative methods often refined by Jason."
