About
Welcome to Big Lake Guide Service
Big Lake Guide Service began with a simple passion: time on the water.
After years of fishing Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River, I realized one thing never changed—every trip created memories worth sharing. Friends, family, and fellow anglers were always asking when they could tag along, learn more, or experience a day of fishing the way I saw it. That passion eventually grew into something bigger, and Big Lake Guide Service was born.
What started as a personal love for chasing walleye, salmon, and smallmouth has become a full-time commitment to giving others the same unforgettable days I’ve enjoyed for years. Lake Sakakawea is one of the Midwest’s most remarkable fisheries, and it deserves to be experienced with someone who knows its moods, patterns, and hidden gems.
