Your Expert Guide on Bass Lake

The Man Behind the Net

Independent and locally based out of Miller's Landing

I’m Mike Beighey, and I’ve been fishing Bass Lake since I was in grade school. I’m a true local, and for over 15 years, I’ve dedicated my professional life to guiding anglers here.

Unlike large commercial operations, when you book with me, you fish with me. You get the benefit of decades of local knowledge from someone who knows this lake's patterns and hidden spots better than anyone. I pride myself on having the patience to accommodate every skill level—from seasoned anglers looking for a trophy to families with children holding a rod for the very first time.

My philosophy is simple: Fishing should be fun, safe, and successful. That’s why I operate with a straightforward promise: You Will Hook Fish, Guaranteed, Or It’s Free.

Come aboard my 21ft Sun Tracker, relax, and let a local expert handle the details. I look forward to making your trip the highlight of your vacation.

Our Target

Fish Species We Target

Kokanee Salmon and Rainbow Trout are the only two species that we guide for.

Rainbow Trout

Rainbow Trout fishing at Bass Lake is good through the winter and great in the spring to early summer. March through June our boats will typically hook up with 20 plus fish in the morning hours. It's up to you to land them and decide if you are keeping or releasing.

Rainbow Trout

Kokanee Salmon

Kokanee Salmon become active mid May and use to provide a great summertime fishery at Bass Lake. The peak months for Kokanee are June, July and August is when they peak in size. We jig for them through September just for fun.

The Vessel & Tackle

And The Gear We Catch 'Em With

We use only the best to ensure your success.

The Boat

21 Ft Sun Tracker Fishing Barge

Comfort on the Water: We fish aboard a 21-foot Sun Tracker Fishing Barge, specifically chosen for its stability and open layout. Unlike cramped fishing hulls, the barge offers plenty of room to walk around, comfortable seating for everyone, and an exceptionally smooth ride.

Capacity: Comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests.

The Rods

Lamiglas

Professional Grade: We proudly equip our boat with Lamiglas rods, the industry standard for strength and sensitivity. These high-quality rods give you the control needed to feel the bite and confidently land trophy Kokanee and Trout.

The Tech

Scotty Downriggers

Precision Depth: To ensure we get the bait exactly where the fish are hiding, we use Scotty Downriggers. Known for their precision depth control, these units allow us to target specific water columns with accuracy, leading to a more productive day of fishing.

The Guide Is Licensed, Bonded, And Insured.
