Fishing trips customized for the way

you want to fish

Our fishing guide service is based here in central Minnesota, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only place we fish! We are blessed with many, many awesome lakes here in central Minnesota but we will fish where we think the “bite” will be best for the species YOU want to target. Or if you would rather have us tell you what you should be targeting on that particular day, we will do that.

Professional Guides

Fully Insured Trips

Comfortable Fishing Boats

Fish Cleaning and Packaging

From ice fishing to open water and from Baudette to Lake Minnetonka, we can hook you up with a professional guide that will show you a great time on the water. So, it’s that simple and that’s why it’s our PROFESSION and not just our hobby.

Our guides will have quality equipment and will be at the “meeting spot” rigged and ready. The only thing you will need is your MN fishing license, some snacks, beverage and appropriate clothing for your time on the water.

We had an amazing time with Dustin. He’s very personable and great with kids. My boys really enjoyed the trip. He got us on fish right away and gave great advice to everyone. We will definitely use his services again.

Four of us booked a four hour fishing trip with Walleye Dan. 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 Walleye Dan’s guide service.

These guys are awesome. Dustin with Walleye Dan has been our guide on three different father & sons fishing trips and we are already planning our trip for next year. We caught around 100 walleye and smallmouth on this year’s trip!! Can’t recommend them enough.
