Finding A Red River Walleye Guide

By Harriet Porter


Scheduling a fishing trip in the northern portion of America can provide a number of options to choose from. There are numerous types of sport fish to choose from and many are renowned for their fighting ability as well as offering the appeal of catching the one that is trophy sized. If you decide to fish for walleyes finding the most skilled Red River walleye guide will add a great deal of enjoyment to your trip.

The Red River travels through two states that touch the Canadian border. Those states are North Dakota and Minnesota and you will find a number of guides in either state that will be happy to accommodate you and your party while fishing. There are also lodges and guides that can be hired in the Manitoba, Canada area.

When you have decided what part of the country you prefer for catching walleyes you must then decide the time of year you choose to vacation. These fish are best hunted in the late fall months because they are feeding heavily at that time in anticipation of many long winter months ahead. They are also very popular for an ice fishing tour later in the year when lakes and rivers are frozen.

The tour guides generally limit the number of clients per boat to two or three people at a time. They will provide their guests with all fishing gear that is needed and any necessary bait. The client is usually responsible for obtaining any permits or fishing licenses necessary for the state and county you are in.

Most do not supply food or water without prior arrangements being made but most will find a place to eat and get refreshments for their clients during the tours. Parties are able to charter the boats and guides for half or full days of fishing. The local guides are familiar with the prevalent conditions and current locations of walleyes on the water.

Some larger guiding firms cater to corporate events and provide housing as well as arranging fishing tournaments for the participants and their guests. The competing teams can switch members or boats to facilitate conversation and networking between their coworkers. Many corporations also invite customers and potential customers to join the company members on these trips.

As a sales advantage some guides partner with hotels or lodges to help provide housing for their clients while they are in town. They find that this agreement helps everyone concerned because the guest has a comfortable place to stay, the hotel has guests during the colder months of the year and the guides can often find clients that have not made advance reservations. .

Guided fishing tours can be an exciting way to spend a few vacation days. You will have the options of sharing your adventure with others or spending your time alone with your guide and the thrill of the catch and viewing the fall or winter scenery of the region on your own. Either way it should be an event to remember for a long time to come.
