About

the Guide

Hi, I am Kyle Schweer, a South Dakota Fishing Guide with more than 20 years of angling experience. I started fishing the waters of the Glacial Lakes Region of South Dakota at a very young age, and have a passion for everything outdoors. I am a tournament fisherman competing in the upper midwest. (Check out my facebook page to see where I am fishing next.) I take great pride in being a knowledgeable and friendly guide that strives to make each guided trip a great experience for every client.

My goal is to put you in the best position for a successful catch. I fish these lakes regularly and combine my intuition with some of the best fishing equipment on the market to help you find success.

While a great experience is the key focus, I offer more. You will leave your day on the water, with the knowledge to make all your future trips more enjoyable. I will share my knowledge of where to find the fish, the best presentations (equipment) to use, and how to understand the information from the electronics.

Let me handle everything. The boat, gear, fishing, safety, where to go, what to use… the list goes on. When you hire me as a guide all you should need to do is FISH! Take the stress out of your next fishing trip and enjoy your experience, “It’s what we do”.

We use multiple different types of rigging, from slip corks to pulling plugs on lead core line. The style of fishing can vary depending on the time of year, weather and species you prefer to chase. If you would like to target a certain species, please contact us so we can help line up the best trip possible.
