Looking For 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.

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.

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.

Tour guides with boats are able to comfortably fit two or three guests on the vessel at one time. All poles, lures, fishing rigs and gear is provided for the guest along with any bait that may be necessary. You may want to find out what kind of state and county permits or out of state licenses you will need to acquire before you begin your tour. Many can be applied for and obtained through the internet by contacting the proper agencies.

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.

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.

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.

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.
