L.D. Guide Service Fishing Information
We charter fishing trips, on the North Branch of the Susquehanna River, from Ice out usually about March 15th to Ice In,usually about Dec.15th, 7 days a week, weather and water permitting.
If you're interested in fishing where most of the public can't get to and you're a little on the adventurous side, join me on my 17ft Triton jet boat. I can take two people at a time and it's for the entire day, usually between 6 to 10 hours,your choice. You'll want your camera because in the approximate 15 miles that we'll cover, you'll see an abundance of scenery and wildlife.Getting in and out of the boat there is a good chance of getting your feet wet so bring old sneakers or sandals in hot weather and hip or knee boots in cold weather.I also have 3hr and 4hr evening trips for those who don't have the time or would prefer a shorter trip.
Book Early!
If your serious about going fishing with me, please book early to get the date you want. It's first come first served on booking. Some of my regular clients book TWO years in advance! So send your $65.00 deposit in. We take check, cash,or you can prepay with Paypal, or call me with your Master card,Visa,or Discover Card information.You have 7 days from the time you tell me what day you want until the time the deposit is due.After that time I give your date to the next person who wants it. I live off those deposits in the off season.
We Practice Selective Harvest
Smallmouth bass in the 15" to 21" range are trophy fish, and mostly female breeders, they take 9 years and more to achieve this size. I don't kill bass.I would prefer that you take measurements and get a fiberglass replica of the trophy fish you catch.They look great and last forever. We want to do our part in ensuring that you may have a good chance of taking a trophy bass in years to come by practicing selective harvest. You may keep any legal walleye between 15 1/4" and 20", rock bass, or channel cats you get.
Call Me - Call Me - Call Me
Please call me at least two or three days before your scheduled trip, between 6:00AM and 7:00AM or 8:00PM to 9:00pm, to finalize everything at (570)-250-1147.
Cancellation and Rescheduling for Fishing Success
We fish rain or shine, however I reserve the right to cancel any charter due to weather conditions or flood stage water where passenger safety is at risk. The charter may either be rescheduled or the deposit refunded. If you cancel for any reason, at any time, the deposit is non-refundable! If you cancel after I meet you at the river, you owe me for the entire day!
