There’s nothing quite like a day on the water in the Northwoods — early mornings, fresh air, and the chance to reel in something worth talking about.

At South Shores Lodging, we’ve partnered with trusted local experts at Hodgie's West Shore Fishing to offer guests access to guided fishing experiences on some of the best waters in northern Minnesota.

What to Expect

Whether you’re a first-time angler or have been fishing your whole life, these trips are designed to be easy, enjoyable, and productive.

• Guided trips on Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River
• Trips tailored to all experience levels
• All essential gear provided
• Hands-on guidance throughout the day
• Fish cleaning included at the end of your trip

You just show up ready for the experience — everything else is taken care of.

Why Book a Guide?

Fishing these waters is something special — but having a local guide makes all the difference. You’ll spend less time guessing and more time catching, while learning the area from someone who knows it well.

It’s the kind of day that becomes part of the story you bring home.
