CastCadia Guide Service
Book your next trip with CastCadia Guide Service and find out what you’re missing in Coeur d’Alene. With Captain Jesse at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced truly LOCAL guide that has spent his entire life fishing the waters of Coeur D Alene and surrounding areas of the Pacific Northwest.
Local species include Chinook Salmon, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Sockeye Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead and more. You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, or maybe something more specialized depending on the trip and species targeted.
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 inform us so that we can be prepared to have one for each child that will be on board.
Capt. Jesse will bring you aboard either a 23’ PNW Aggressor (open sled) with room for 6 passengers or a Lund ProV Bass 1875 (bass boat) with room for 3 passengers (depending on trip requested). We will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures/bait.
Before coming aboard, you’ll need 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect reach out to captain if unsure. It’s always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, snacks and drinks of your preference. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, cans or plastic bottles preferred.
CastCadia Guide Service is sure to help make an unforgettable day on the water.

Lake CDA Technical Bass/Pike 4HRS
Unforgettable experience!
We had an absolutely amazing time! I brought my 12-year-old son along, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jesse was exceptionally communicative prior to our trip. From the moment we stepped on board, Tom was friendly, professional, and incredibly patient. He went out of his way to make sure my son felt comfortable, involved, and excited throughout the entire trip. Tom was knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us for the best chance of catching something. My son landed his personal best bass and hasn’t stopped talking about it since. Tom took the time to teach him and answer endless questions… My son said he learned a ton! The lake beautiful and we had a perfect day. Highly recommend Castcadia for families, beginners, and anyone looking for a fun, relaxed, and successful day on the water. We’ll definitely be back!
