 3400 North Shore Drive, Orono, MN 55391, United States

If you’re ready to try fishing on the beautiful Lake Minnetonka, look no further than 1st K Guide Service. With Kyle at the helm, you’ll benefit from over 15 years of knowledge and experience.

These waters are known for Walleye,Bass, Northern Pike, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 1775 Alumacraft SC. Fully loaded with Lowrance graphs and a Garmin Livescope, this rig will take you out to chase your next fish fry or PB! Kyle has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is also provided.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

Don’t leave home without sunscreen, a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with 1st K Guide Service!

Just remember, today could be your day! We will see you on the water!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 7, 2025

My dad and I have been on many guided trips and also had our own boat for a long time. My dad drove up from Texas just to do this trip and Kyle put us on fish in the very first spot. Kyle did recon th3 night before so we would have an opportunity to catch a lot of fish. He was professional , knowledgeable and friendly. Had a blast and he put us on som 3 lb bass that made for a memorable experience. We are going to make this a yearly trip with Kyle. 100 stars for this guide.
