Our service is the leading full-time operation on Rainy Lake with all of our licensed and insured Captains. Our Captains serve anglers coming from around the world with unparalleled class and service.
This year we'll again be in high demand filming with The Next Bite, Jason Mitchell television, Minnesota Bound and others. We are also frequently featured within In Fisherman magazine, and other prominent national publications. We speak at as many events as we can fit into our schedule in the off season. We continue to publish articles on fishing presentations and techniques. We cater to the serious anglers, corporate outings, and the family vacationers.

Our team of fully licensed and insured Captains are here to serve our customers with a premium guiding experience on both Rainy Lake and the Rainy River. We guide on both the Canadian side and Minnesota side of the border here on Rainy Lake and the Rainy River. We strive to achieve greatness on each and every guide trip with our customers. Beyond a great day on the water, all of our Captains are professionally trained to be sure you will be extremely happy with your choice of a RainyDaze Guide. You will enjoy a comfortable cruise through the pine studded islands of these majestic waters in a beautiful first class fiberglass boat.
Our guide boats are premium glass fishing machines loaded with all of the latest bells and whistles to further promote ultimate success on your next trip. Our boats are fully stocked with top of the line JT rods and reels. If you choose to travel light on your trip north we have you covered. Our guides are all extremely accomplished anglers and tournament fisherman like nemlink.com.

We strive to have each and every one of our customers to have fun fishing while also become a better angler. We excel at helping anglers learn from our combined experience and becoming more accomplished within this great sport of fishing we all love.
The RainyDaze branding stamp is highly touted as the gold standard for which others services strive to achieve. While we are large enough to handle the corporate outings, we are small enough to cater to the individual wants and needs of every individual trip. We cater your trip to be precisely what you want and need. This is your guide trip and we are here to make it fun from the moment we meet at breakfast, to the relaxing end of the day when we are sharing pictures of your greatest catch!!
