Coming up to fish cedar end of august, never been on the lake was curious is it worth hiring guide for the day or is it easy enough to figure out. Staying at keystone on east side. And any recomendations. Appreciated. Thanks
Cedar lake guides
I'll be up at Keystone in 3 weeks. Can't wait! I've been there for the last 25 years. Only 2 years we missed were last 2 due to covid. :( But we're ready to return! Dave and Leanne are very helpful on helping you find fish. They will show you on a map where to go and what to use. I have never Hired a guide. We hammer the walleye, smallies, northerns and muskys. Got a 30in walleye and over 50 in musky on that lake. Your going to have a blast!! If you are an avid fisherman, you will not have a problem. If your fairly new to fishing, I would call Dave or Leanne and ask who they recommend. Good luck! And get into the catch and release program they have. You could win a trip! I won one many years ago! :)
Will be going up there again for the third time this late summer. Should have hired a guide the first year to shorten the learning curve. We have a group of 7 fairly accomplished fishermen, well versed in most all of the species swimming in Cedar.
We catch our fish and do as well or better than most, still going to hire a guide this season to learn even more. There is no substitute for experience on these wilderness lakes. It takes a lifetime to come up with a solid program.
Hire a guide, blend that with your own knowledge and hone it down to improve your time and experience. Learning new water is a challenge and is why we travel 12 hrs. to fish these waters. Just don't let your ego get in the way of enjoying the fishery.
Here is the contact info of the guide we have been in touch with, good luck. And burn the eight every cast. They like to come from under the boat on me, still haven't recovered from my last follow on Cedar!
