My experience with Nate Berg Fishing Guides in the Brainerd Lakes Area was nothing short of outstanding. With over 400 lakes to choose from and countless species to target, I wasn’t sure where to begin but Nate made it effortless. He took the time to ask about our goals, preferences and skill levels, then tailored the entire day to exactly what we wanted.
The 18’ Alumacraft boat was spotless, stable, and clearly well maintained. Powered by a Yamaha engine, it handled the lakes beautifully and there was plenty of room for our group to fish comfortably. I really appreciated the high quality rods, reels, lures he supplied.

What truly set this trip apart was Nate’s local knowledge and passion for fishing. He knew the secret spots, the right techniques for each species, and even the little adjustments we needed to make when conditions changed.

If you’re considering a fishing adventure in Minnesota’s Brainerd Lakes Area, look no further than Nate Berg Fishing Guides. Whether you’re after a trophy Walleye, a hard fighting Pike or simply a memorable day surrounded by incredible scenery, Nate and his team will deliver. Five stars, without hesitation!

My 15 year old son and I had never fished for northern pike or walleye before, so when we went on vacation in Minnesota, I looked at the reviews of fishing charter operators near where we were staying and found Nate’s listing along with his reviews.  Since they were all 5 star ratings, we decided to go with him.  We are really glad we did too, because when we got to Nate’s first fishing hole, my son and I together caught 19 decent sized smallmouth bass and 1 big walleye.  Nate could hardly keep up with us because he was busy baiting our hooks or pulling hooks out of fish that we had caught.  We even caught some nice size northern pike which were absolutely beautiful fish.  Nate proved that he knows how to work with people that are inexperienced fishermen, as well as those that are very experienced.  He took my inexperienced 15 year old son under his wing and patiently taught him how to fish like a pro.  My son and I have done some bass and catfish fishing where we live in Tennessee, but we’ve never caught fish as fast and in the large numbers as we caught fish with Nate.  My son I I did a 6 hour charter and at the end of the day we had a good laugh together before we went to bed, because our arms were sore from all the reeling we did bringing in the fish.  Thank you, Nate! We will be back!

Thank you Nate for a great day of fishing with one of my team members,Diane. We appreciate your time and knowledge and as always,  I’ll always send people your way, as you Sir are a great fishing guide and friend!

Nate is a great guy and a great guide. He worked with us on meeting points and was on top of the weather. We dodged the storms both days. He kept us on fish the whole time. He knew the “spots”, and techniques. We did two 8 hour trips and were constantly on fish. His prices are below others in the area. We caught our target species, walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth. If you want to catch fish, I highly recommend Nate Berg.
