Types of Indiana Guided Fishing Trips

General Inland

Indiana inland fishing guides generally operate out of walleye or bass style boats.   They take 1-3 people out at a time and are found all over the state.   Indiana offers many quality musky, largemouth bass, and crappie lakes as well as great fishing guides.  Indiana rivers are popular hot spots for smallmouth bass, walleye, and the seasonal runs of salmon on Lake Michigan tributaries.

Great Lake Charters

Have fun with a few friends aboard an Northwest Indiana Lake Michigan charter boat. Most Indiana fishing charters fish up to 6 anglers and catch coho salmon, steelhead, lake trout, brown trout, king salmon, and perch. Indiana Lake Michigan charters work out of Michigan City, Burns Harbor, and Gary.

Great Lakes (Small Boat)

Indiana Lake Michigan fishing guides usually fish with up to 3 anglers out of multi-species or smaller charter boats.  Some guides pursue salmon and trout but many of these guides put there clients on jumbo perch and smallmouth bass on Lake Michigan tributaries, breakwaters and areas closer to shore.

Fly Fishing

Indiana fly fishing guides fish on rivers, lakes, and streams throughout Indiana.  Some Indiana streams offer natural trout while Lake Michigan tributaries offer quality seasonal runs on salmon and trout.  Indiana fly fishing guides catch smallmouth bass on the river systems and largemouth bass are popular fly fishing targets on inland Indiana lakes.   Our fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.

Ice Fishing

Indiana ice fishing is dependent on ice conditions.  Northern Indiana offers the best chance of good ice but you should talk to your guide shortly before your trip to be sure to have a safe trip.  These northern lakes offer good fishing for bass, walleye, and panfish when conditions permit.
