One of the most incredible fishing trips I've taken to lake mille lacs!! Walleye and small mouth bass.The timing of the trip was perfect I booked with Mille Lac Lake Guiding and they set up Dan Pheifer to be our guide. Dan has incredible knowledge of the lake along with fantastic electronics on his boat His boat is well maintained and is large enough for four people Dan Pheifer quickly got us on a few fish right away. Once they quit biting he was off to another spot. Perfect guide

We had a great time on Mille Lacs with Randy and the guys, they knew their Walleye for sure. We had not so great weather for fishing and they were able to put us on good fish despite it. We were able to bag our limit. And catch some really good size Walley. Which is amazing considering how the weather was for fishing. Thank you to Bruce for finding us really great guides. Definitely recommend these guys to anyone!

Simply the best! Bruce Jean is the fish whisperer. Technically and tactically exceeds expectations. Bruce not only guides you to where the fish are, he's a great coach & teacher with all the best equipment on the lake...tackle, boat, horse power, technology etc... Bruce also has excellent "boatside manner." He gets people, great story teller, and sense of humor. All these things make for lifetime memories on the lake. My son and I have been fishing with Bruce for years and we now make this an annual trip... sometimes twice in a season. Fishing with Mille Lacs Lake Guiding is worth the investment!

I can’t say enough good things about Mille Lacs Lake Guiding! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly—he knew the lake like the back of his hand and put us right on the fish. We caught a great mix of walleye and Northern, and the guide was super helpful with tips and techniques that improved our catch rate. The boat and equipment were in excellent condition, and we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, this is the team to go with. The passion and expertise they bring to every trip make all the difference. Mille Lacs Lake Guiding delivered an unforgettable day on the water. Highly recommend!
