Dale will share a lifetime of fishing experience to help make you a more knowledgeable and successful angler. He has over 30 years of walleye tournament experience and has won several Montana walleye tournaments. Dale has retired from the professional walleye circuits (RCL/FLW and PWT) and fished the Professional Walleye Trail Championship in October 2008 as his final tournament. As a result, Dale has fished- all across the Midwestern U.S. from Montana to Michigan and from Arkansas to Canada. What he has learned, he is willing to share with you and can be applied to any system across the country.

Learn how to find fish – using contour maps, GPS, and Lowrance electronics. Discover how to catch walleye with various techniques and when and where to fish them. The day’s fishing can be tailored to your specific interests in techniques – from jigging, to rigging, to crankbaits – long line trolling or trolling with lead core, or fishing with slip bobbers. Or it can be a little of each. Learn about boat control with tips on trolling and use of drift socks.


Fish the reservoirs in a 20 ˝ foot - Lund 2025 Pro V IFS with a Mercury Verado, Pro-kicker, and top of the line Lowrance electronics. Fish the river in a 18’ - 1860 G3 Jon boat with a 115/80hp Yamaha Jet. All fishing tackle, equipment and bait is provided.


Fish the river in a 18 foot - 1860 G3 Jon boat with a 115/80hp Yamaha Jet with a 80# Minn Kota Terrova with i-Pilot, and Lowrance electronics.

“Selective harvest” is used to allow anglers to keep some eaters, and protect the spawners -- meaning that fish over 20” are generally released.

The cost is $450 per day for one or two people. Add $50 per day per person – for up to two additional people for trips on the reservoirs with the Lund 2075 Pro V.. (Note: River trips are generally limited to 2 people per boat) Discounts may be available for additional days on same trip.
