Paul Nelson with 2 Walleyes

Northern Pike is not the only fish in Lake Bemidji.  The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources rates Bemidji as one of the better Walleye lakes in the state.  On opening day thru mid June one of the hottest fishing spots on the lake is right off the dock at Ruttger's.  As the season progresses the fish move into deeper water from the dock, but good fishing spots are still easy to find near the resort and in the Mississippi River across the lake.  Boats and motors are available at the resort dock.  If you really want to a catch a boat load of fish, we highly recommend guide Paul Nelson.

Paul hosts guided trips on most lakes for all species, including Walleye, Muskie, Bass, Northern, Trout, and panfish.  Please contact Paul directly to plan your guided fishing trip.
