Fish Report 4/8/2026

by | Apr 8, 2026 | Fishing Report, Open Water Fishing, Turkey

We have ice! And we still do have snow on the ground here in central Minnesota. But it’s going to get NICE very soon and we will have the boats/toons back on the open water. First thing is first though, gobblers. A week from today is the MN spring turkey opener. Once the turkey itch has been scratched, the open water guiding season will be underway and the calendar is already looking good. Our guides will be ready for another busy open water season, with some some changes in the law. Bass (large and smallmouth) can now be fished (catch and release) year round, this will add a nice little bonus to the spring season, where normally we are only chasing crappies. You can now get in on some of the best fishing of the year, fishing the shallow water for pre spawn bass. It’s a blast! So, pick up the phone and give Shelley a call to book your guided trip today! 218-839-5598

Fish Report 2/6/26

It looks like it’s been awhile, I’m sorry. It has been quite the busy winter season, and that would account for my tardiness. We have been on the ice a lot and fishing a number of the area lakes. We have had a lot of families out on the ice and have done a number of corporate outings as well. Fishing overall has been decent, with more good days than bad. The Ice Pro fish houses that we have been...

“Dan is an incredible guide. He is personable and knows the Brainerd Lakes area like none other. I suggest anybody who wants to get into fishing and doesn’t want to spend all the time and money to try to figure out how to catch ‘em to just hired Dan and his team!”

“Four of us booked a four hour fishing trip with Walleyedan. Our guide was Dustin and he was so friendly and engaging with a wealth of knowledge and tips . We caught the amount of fish we wanted for a fish fry and man were they tasty. Besides Dustin’s skills, his friendly personality made the day. We HIGHLY recommend Walleyedan’s guide service.”

“Wonderful experience!! Our guide Chuck picked us up from our resort and was incredibly sweet. One person in our group had never touched a rod and landed a 42 inch plus musky. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!!”
