Testimonials...

Didn't like what I was seeing by just "Googling" for local guides. That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Found this site and had a response within a matter of hours. Booked a fun trip for a great price. Definitely a "recommend" for others!

Types of North Dakota Guided Fishing Trips

General Inland

North Dakota 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.  Walleyes and perch top the list of favorite targets on the lakes and rivers but North Dakota fishing guides also fish bass, musky, northern pike, and panfish.  Going fishing with a North Dakota fishing guide is a great experience to share with friends or family.

Fly Fishing

North Dakota fly fishing guides have countless destinations on rivers and streams throughout North Dakota catching rainbow, brook, and brown trout.  Lake Sakakawea and Powers also have significant trout populations.  South Dakota fly fishing guides catch smallmouth bass on the river systems and northern pike and largemouth bass are popular fly fishing targets on North Dakota lakes and reservoirs.  North Dakota fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.

Ice Fishing

North Dakota fishing guides offer the most famous ice fishing trips in North America.  While Devils Lake is world renowned, North Dakota ice fishing guides offer trips on many waters throughout the state.  Permanent shanties are placed around the lakes and moved as fishing conditions change.  Many North Dakota outfitters even off sleeper shanties and run supplies out to you as you need them.  North Dakota ice fishing guides can truly offer one of the most unique fishing experiences anywhere with jumbo perch and walleye among the most sought after species.
