Finding A Red River Walleye Guide

By Harriet Porter


If you love fishing, going after walleyes in the northern states of America may prove to be one of the best decisions you have made for awhile. You will need to research where they are the most populous and what types of services are available in the area you choose. The best time of year to catch them is information that is also very important. Choosing the most informed Red River walleye guide will help to ease the stress of finding this information.

This river is located in Minnesota and North Dakota on the American side of the border and in Manitoba in Canada. There are numerous towns and fishing lodges on either side of the border and most have a healthy population of walleyes available for catching. You will also find numerous tour guides available to help you find the best fishing in the area.

A little research will help you determine where you prefer to fish. They are most active and feeding in the months just before winter sets in because they are bulking up for the lean winter months. Your schedule can be determined from information provided by weather forecasts and the people who are in charge of your tour. You may want to consider trying the ice fishing that happens during the coldest parts of winter 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.

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.

There are corporate tours available also. The bigger touring firms cater to larger groups because they have more fishing vessels. Their guides take small groups of corporate employees out to fish and sometimes organize tournaments for them. These retreats are designed to help the employees network better and exchange ideas and information among themselves.

Many guides have arrangements with surrounding hotels and lodges. When a tour is booked they share information or book lodging for their clients. The cost is included in the tour package expense. This cooperation between businesses serves to make the stay more comfortable for the guest as well as help the guides and hotels financially. Other tour guides offer a trip into the wilderness for their clients where they camp out and follow the shoreline between the best spots to fish.

Those who enjoy fishing and want to try to catch a trophy sized fish should consider booking one of these tours when they have a winter vacation.
