Boundary Waters Fishing-Guided Trips

Guided Boundary Waters Fishing Trips

Guided BWCA fishing trips are a great way to learn

Our in-house, Northwoods fishing guides for Boundary Waters BWCA fishing canoe trips are experienced and congenial. Your trip need not be fishing focused to have a guide, but guided fishing trips make for fantastic "wilderness memories."

If you have not done a BWCA fishing trip before, or even if you have, and would like the help and expertise a fishing guide can offer for your next trip, then our Boundary Waters fishing guide will show you how to enjoy your experience...the tough parts and the easy parts!

River Point's guides provide personalized service to all skill and interest levels, tailoring a guided fishing trip to meet your needs. A wilderness guide experienced in canoeing, camping, and fishing, while not essential, can greatly enhance a canoe trip. Boundary Waters fishing guides know about the history of the area, the wildlife, the species of fish, and the fishing spots, and they know how to best take care of you.

The Boundary Waters fishing guide takes care of many details of your adventure, from filleting the fish, to cooking delicious meals, to teaching you paddling techniques. Our River Point fishing guides are specialists in what they do: part outfitter, part historian, part naturalist, and resident navigator, plus they have a genuine love for canoe camping and the great outdoors.

Smallmouth bass fishing in the BWCA on a guided trip

Some of the world's best fresh water fishing lies in the famous Boundary Waters Canoe Area wilderness, including feisty smallmouth bass, golden walleyes, and giant northern pike. You will enjoy the most gorgeous scenery in Minnesota at the same time. The cool, clean waters are teeming with trophy size fish, as well as the "perfect-size eaters." Truly, the Boundary Waters is an angler's (or a fly-fisherperson's) paradise!

June is a great time for a Boundary Waters fishing trip. Your River Point guide will share his knowledge of different rods, angling and fly-fishing techniques, presentations, and much more. Be prepared for exciting fishing and a superb amount of old-fashioned FUN! Catch and Release is practiced, but plan on delicious fish fries back at the campsite, too!

Bring your favorite rods and reels for spinning, bait-casting, and fly fishing, lures, and tackle. You can also check out the on-site Bait and Tackle Shop at River Point Outfitting.
