Nate Berg Fishing Guides operate from Brainerd Lakes Area, one of the most enticing freshwater destinations when it comes to diversity of species and fishing locations. Choosing a perfect fishing trip in the area with over 400 lakes and a plethora of species is not easy, but luckily for you, Nate Berg Fishing Guides will be there to tailor your experience exactly to your needs and preferences.
You and up to three other anglers will be fishing aboard their 18’ aluminum fishing Alumacraft built in 2022. Powered by a Yamaha engine and cruising at a maximum speed of 32 knots, this boat comes equipped with top-quality safety and navigational gear. There’s also a live bait tank on board to make sure your bait stays fresh and appealing.
You’ll have endless options when it comes to fishing locations and species with hundreds of lakes located only 30 miles from Brainerd. Nate Berg Fishing Guides will tailor your fishing experience according to your desires - whether you’d like to focus on particular species or have a mixed bag of targets. Whichever option you choose, your guides will show you the best locations and techniques for hunting Walleye, Trout, Bass, Pike, Perch, and many others.
They’ll also provide you with the best fishing gear, including lures and live bait. Your catch will be cleaned and filleted for your convenience, and the drinks are also provided. Just make sure to bring an extra layer of clothing and tell your guides what your desired targets are. They will choose the location and organize the trip according to your choice - they have all the knowledge and all the lakes to make your day with them a life-changing experience.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 20, 2025
Nate is a great guy who knows his stuff. Made it super easy for my family and we pulled in a bunch of fish. Didn't have to worry about a boat, equipment, bait, finding fish, cleaning the fish, etc.... We caught Largemouth Bass, Rock Bass, Walleye and Northern. A great memory, will do it again in the future.

Nate picked us up early in hopes of catching some early walleye as the previous night was a little slow - too calm. It was a beautiful morning, but once again slow due to the calm water. Nate asked if we wanted to try for small mouth. We moved lakes and had the best day of fishing we’ve ever had. Lost count on number of fish! They were huge and fought hard. Got several doubles and even a triple or two. Nate was very patient and we had great conversations! We will be coming back to fish with Captain Nate again!

Nate hung with us until we caught every type fish we went looking for. Great patience, very knowledgeable, and had everything we needed to complete our wish list. Thanks for a great time.

Went out with Captain Nate and my two mostly grown children. Nate put us on fish and was very knowledgeable on how to catch them. Had a great multi species day with many fish caught including really nice walleyes, bass and pike even though it was a very warm and flat calm day with a big hatch. Great job and thanks for the memories!

I have been a part of the outdoor industry for most of my life but have been guiding since 2002. My wife and I started this guide business to be able to give back to the industry that has been so good to us. So a majority of our profits from guiding are donated back in the form of fishing trips to charities and benefits that mostly help children in some way.

Lures
Catch cleaning & filleting
I always clean fish for free. I do limit people to Pike per person because they take a little longer to clean. Do you want more? I charge five dollars per fish.
Drinks
I have water in the boat if you want anything else you need to bring it. I just don’t want to have 50 cases of different stuff at home.
Free cancellation up to 7 days prior to trip
You can cancel or modify your booking up to 7 days before the trip date, free of charge. If you cancel or modify your booking later, or fail to show up, you'll forfeit 100% of what you've paid.
Pickup agreed upon reservation
Transfer to/from departure site may be available and included in price depending on your location and distance from the dock.
Child Friendly
I don’t have age limits. What I do suggest is limiting to four hours for any kid under the age of 12. The reason for doing so is I do not want to be the reason a kid loses his or her love for Fishing.
