The Benefits of Fishing With a Professional Guide

Fishing With a Guide Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman, or out to visit the lake for the weekend, a professional fishing guide is always a good thing to bring along on your fishing trip!

Fishing is a wonderful pastime, but for a lot of people, even those who have fished often before, all of the equipment you need to bring with you can be intimidating. Plus, you’ll need different kinds of rods, reels and bait depending on what you’re fishing for. A seasoned, professional fishing guide will come prepared, and help you make sure that you have everything you need for a successful day on the water.

Another benefit you’ll have with the aid of a professional guide is that little bit of insider information. The professional guides that work with us here at the Burntwood Lake Lodge know our lake like the back of their hands. They have all the insider knowledge that can make the difference between a slow day out on the water, and an extremely successful fishing trip. A guide will be able to take you to locations that have been successful for them in the past based on the geography of the lake’s floor, and they’ll know when the best time of day is to catch fish in certain areas.

A guide can also help you master certain techniques that you’ll need to learn when you’re fishing, whether it’s a wrist flick or a special way to bait the hook: our guides know the species of fish in the lake, and they know how to catch them. Certain types of fish respond to some fishing techniques better than others; rather than let trial and error teach you what those techniques are, our guides can show you.

The Burntwood Lake Lodge has been a fishing destination for locals and out-of-towners for over twenty years. Our picaresque cabins, nestled in the heart of the Walleye territory, are a fisherman’s destination. Book your next fishing trip with us today!
