Target Trophy Walleye: Guided Fishing Adventures with Outdoors International

Experience the thrill of chasing one of North America's most popular and prized freshwater game fish – the Walleye. Outdoors International is your expert consulting service, dedicated to connecting anglers with elite, vetted fishing guides, charters, and lodges in the continent's most renowned Walleye fisheries. Whether you dream of battling "marble eyes" on the legendary waters of Lake Erie, jigging the depths of Lake of the Woods, or trolling the Missouri River reservoirs, we help you plan an unforgettable Walleye fishing adventure at no extra cost compared to booking direct.

Walleye are celebrated for their delicious white flesh and their sometimes elusive nature, offering a rewarding challenge for anglers of all skill levels. They can be targeted effectively throughout the year, from open-water seasons featuring exciting spring runs and fall bites, to productive ice fishing in the winter. Our experienced consultants understand the seasonal patterns, effective techniques (including jigging, trolling, live bait rigging, and casting), and the best destinations to maximize your chances of success. We will match you with operations that suit your angling style, whether you're seeking a trophy, a limit for the table, or simply a great time on the water.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
