Looking For 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.

This river travels from Manitoba Canada southward and passes through North Dakota and Minnesota. Not all areas of the river support walleyes so hiring someone with knowledge in the area will prove helpful. There are numerous guides available on either side of the border line between the two countries so finding one you like should not be difficult.

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 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.

You may be asked to supply any food or refreshments you will need when on the boat. Some tours will supply food and drink for your group if you advise them in advance and pay an extra fee for the service. Tours are available for half or full days charter for fishing and cruising the riverside for photos. The boat's captain should know where the fish are located and what they are biting on.

Many larger corporations have begun taking their employees on fishing tours as a retreat and networking venture. The larger fleets of guides with boats welcome them and provide lodging as well as a schedule of activities that allow everyone to participate in. They arrange fishing tournaments for their guests with two or three person teams. Corporate customers are also invited to attend the tours as a means of familiarization with the sales teams and office personnel.

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. .

Enjoying a guided fishing tour in the fall of the year may prove to be as beautiful as it is exciting when you land that fish surrounded by the changing colors of trees and foliage.
