Choosing A Red River Walleye Guide

By Harriet Porter


When looking to schedule a fishing tour in the northern part of the United States you will have several important decisions to make prior to making the reservations. Time of year you plan to travel and the type of fishing you want to do can be resolved by selecting a Red River walleye guide that can provide the information and has enough experience to lead you to the best fishing spots in his area.

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.

Whether you prefer a town or a fishing village with accommodations the best time of year to catch these fish is in late fall. This is the time of year that they begin bulking up for the winter months when food is scarce. During this time they are feeding heavily and are easier to catch with bait. They are also a popular catch for ice fishermen in later months when the waters are frozen.

The boats that are used by tour guides can comfortably carry no more than three guests at a time. Most captains of boats provide poles, gear, and bait for their guests and will teach novices how to catch the fish they are after. You will need to get any fishing licenses or permits prior to boarding the boat and leaving the dock. Many times these permits can be obtained online from the state or county agencies involved.

Many tours do not include food or refreshments in the initial cost. You may be able to arrange for lunches to be supplied on board the boat for an additional cost and some hotels and lodges will supply a box lunch for their clients who are going fishing for the day. You and your party will be able to charter the boat for full or half days and most guides will almost guarantee catching fish.

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.

Some guides cooperate with lodges or hotels to help provide a more comfortable stay for their guests. This is beneficial to everyone involved in that guests do not need to worry about lodgings, the guide has a constant source of clients and the hotel rents more rooms during the fishing season. Other guides offer the wilderness tours that allow clients to sleep out in the woods and trek from one fishing hole to the next.

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.
