Imagine the rush you will feel when a smallmouth bass explodes from the water as you frantically reel in line in your attempt to keep up with its acrobatic leaps. Witness the excitement as your son or daughter experiences the powerful pull of a northern pike as it seeks room to devour its latest meal after engulfing their bait.  Enjoy watching the excitement on your grandchildren’s faces as they feel the unmistakable tap, tap, tap of panfish on their bait.

These experiences await you on close by, local area bodies of water when you book a trip with Red Rock Guiding Service.

TAKE A KID FISHING “Children are always welcome with Red Rock Guiding Service. See our Take A Kid Fishing section.”

Red Rock Guiding Service concentrates on nearby high quality bodies of water.  This way we stay on top of the hot bite throughout the year. Our season begins in March and ends November 30th.  We are a multi species guide service. For more information on these local bodies of water & directions to where we will meet to begin our adventure refer to the Fishing Locations section.


Your trip with us will be aboard the large, safe, and stable Lund Pro-V Magnum, a 21 foot professional fishing boat. Your safety on the water is our primary concern. You will fish with Capt. Walt Koch who is a full time, professional fishing guide and a licensed Coast Guard Captain (License #1197897) who has been involved in the outdoors for 40+ years.
