You do not need to be a guest at Lake Bemidji Bed & Breakfast to hire Dick as your fishing guide.

Hi, I’m Dick Beardsley, and if you know me, you probably know about my deep passion for the great outdoors. For those just getting to know me, let me share a bit of my story. My love for fishing started at the age of 2, thanks to my dad, who first introduced me to the water. By the time I was a teenager, I was running my own fishing guide service—even before I could drive a car! Over the years, many of my clients have become lifelong friends, and I treasure those connections.
Taking people out on the water brings me incredible joy. Whether it’s teaching fishing techniques, swapping stories, or celebrating the excitement of a great catch, I’m here to make every trip a memorable one.
I offer guided fishing trips in the beautiful Bemidji, Minnesota area, home to hundreds of lakes teeming with Bass, Walleye, Pike, Muskie, and Panfish.

I’ll provide everything you need for an unforgettable fishing adventure, whether on open water or ice!
For open water fishing, I supply top-quality rods, reels, bait, tackle, bottled water, snacks, life vests, and I’ll even clean and package your fish at no extra charge.
For ice fishing, I provide high-quality rods, reels, bait, tackle, bottled water, snacks, and a heated shelter to keep you comfortable—no life vests needed.
The only thing you’ll need is a Minnesota fishing license, which must be obtained before our trip. Let’s get out there, reel in the adventure, and make lasting memories! Kids are always welcome!
I’m proud to serve as a member of the Minnesota DNR Bass Advisory Board and was honored to be named the 2021 Star Tribune Readers’ Choice Minnesota’s Best Bronze Winner in the Best Fishing Guides category.
