Mitchell Fishing Guide Service

Branson has a fish with your name on it, so let Mitchell Fishing Guide Service help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Paul, offering years of angling experience.

You’re likely to fish for Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, White Bass, Crappie, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Brown Trout, and more, depending on when you go. For these species, you’re likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. The fish caught are yours to keep, provided they’re legal to keep.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are also a good idea – luckily, Capt. Paul will have some on board!

Capt. Paul will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this, so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it may be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.

I've been fishing as long as I can remember. I been fishing the area for 30 years. I recently retired fromy job after 20 years to become a full time guide. I love fishing and teaching people how to fish and hope they will love it as much as I do.
