Experience fishing in the

heart of the lakes country

Most of you know that we have been blessed with an abundance of lakes and rivers here in our home state of Minnesota. Right in the heart of “lakes country” is the town of Brainerd. And in all directions from Brainerd are a host of other lakes and rivers that support good populations of numerous fish species. We are Walleyedan’s Guide Service, yes, but we are probably like you in the fact that we just like “catching”!

Professional Guides

Fully Insured Trips

Comfortable Fishing Boats

Fish Cleaning and Packaging

We always say that if you let the guide pick the lake, you will probably have the best success. We do have a pontoon in our guide fleet, but most of the guides are using comfortable 20’ tiller steer boats. Our most common trip is a 3 and 4 hour, but we will do up to 7 hour trips. 4 people plus the guide is the max, unless you are requesting the pontoon.

We hope you choose us for your

next fishing trip!

Whether it’s a family vacation, boys’ outing or girls’ getaway, we will craft the perfect fishing experience for your group.

“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!!”
