Due North Guide Service is located in Brethren and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Come on aboard with Capt. Brian, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like light tackle, fly fishing, and drift fishing, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, and Salmon, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your adventure begins on board a 17’ Sea Ark boat that can fit a maximum of 3 anglers. The boat is fitted with an ice box.

All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can. The price of your trip also includes complimentary snacks and lunch, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.

You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Due North Guide Service.

Had a great trip with Mark and my 15 and 11 yo sons. We were busy catching fish our entire 8 hour trip. Mark put us on a great spot, he was very patient and a good teacher to my 11 year old son. Mark was pleasant and friendly the entire trip, one of our best trips we have been on.
