Meet Your Fishing Guide
Welcome to Big Lake Guide Service on Lake Sakakawea. My name is Aaron Hayden and I will be your guide.
I specialize in walleye and salmon fishing trips, but can also target small mouth bass, northern pike and catfish - which are very abundant on Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River.
Fishing Boats
Your walleye trips on Lake Sakakawea & Salmon charters will be fished out of a 21 foot Skeeter WX2190 fishing boat. This boat is made for big water and offers the comfortability and space to fish from (red boat pictured).
