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

I'm Dick Beardsley some of you may know I have a passion for the great outdoors. For those of you that don't, I was fortunate to have my Dad start taking me fishing when I was 2. I started my own fishing guide service before I was old enough to even drive a car! Many of my clients became good friends and are still good friends to this day! I get incredible joy out of taking people fishing, telling a few stories, getting to know them, teaching, and especially the excitement they have when catching their own fish!
I offer half day (4 hours), three quarter day (6 hours) and full day (8 hour) trips. I can also make arrangements for shorter trips in the evenings. The area I guide in, is as I call it, "The Triangle" is the Detroit Lakes, Park Rapid, Bemidji, Minnesota area. There are hundreds of lakes in that area teaming with plenty of Bass, Walleye, Pike, Muskie and Panfish.
I have a 2017 19' Alumacraft Competitor 185 boat powered by a 90 HP Yamaha 4-stroke outboard. I have all the latest electronics and everything is provided, with the exception of a Minnesota fishing license, which will need to be obtained prior to our trip.

I provide high quality rods and reels, bait, tackle, bottled water, life vests, and I'll even clean and package your fish at no extra charge!
No one wants to get people on fish more than I do and I promise you an unforgettable fun trip and kids are always welcome!
