Professional Fishing Guides - Maximize your chances for success.
We encourage guests unfamiliar with the lake to employ a
professional guide early in their
stay to help maximize fishing success. There are 20 or so area
professionals who are well equipped to share their knowledge of the lake and
their skills in catching fish. The guides typically meet you with their
boat at Brindley's gas dock. Guide boats are well rigged with multiple
depth finders, GPS and the latest electronic tools to maximize success.
Most of their boats are comfortable for up to three guest anglers. Daily
fees range from $300 to $350. Half day rates from $225 - 275. While guides operate
independently of Brindley's Harbor Resort, we will be pleased to assist
with contact information and logistics in booking arrangements. Five of the quality profession
guides we work with frequently are:
Ted Gwinn -
Al Maas -
Jim Murphy - Rick Runquist
- Gary Trimble
