Merlyn Johnson, Guide at Blue Catter's Guide Service

Blue Catters Guide Service offers guided freshwater fishing on Milford Lake, Kansas Lake, and Tuttle Creek Lake—three of the top destinations in central Kansas for trophy blue catfish and quality walleye. These trips are designed for beginners, families, and experienced anglers who want a smooth, well-guided day on the water with a patient, people-focused local guide.


Milford Lake is famous for producing big catfish and consistent walleye action all year, while Kansas Lake and Tuttle Creek Lake offer additional options based on weather, conditions, and guest preference. You can choose between 4-hour, 6-hour, and 8-hour guided trips, departing at 8 AM or 1 PM. The full 8-hour trip is ideal for anglers who want more opportunities at larger catfish.


Your guide loves teaching people how to fish and creating memorable moments on the water. Kids and beginners are always welcome, and families appreciate the relaxed pace, clear instruction, and genuine enthusiasm he brings to every trip. Seeing guests reel in their first big catfish—and watching the smiles that follow—is what drives this business.


The boat is a 24 ft Ark Pro Cat 240 powered by a reliable 200 HP Suzuki, built for comfort, stability, and productive fishing. It seats up to six guests and carries all the gear, bait, and tackle you’ll need for the day. All you have to bring is your food, drinks, and a valid Kansas fishing license.


Blue Catters also offers a 2-hour Sunset Tour, a relaxing private outing perfect for families, couples, and anyone who wants to enjoy a beautiful Kansas evening on the water. It’s great for photos, wildlife watching, and unwinding after a long day.


Trips run year-round, and freshwater fishing remains productive in every season. Whether you're interested in catching catfish, targeting walleye, or simply enjoying a peaceful day outdoors, this guide provides a friendly, structured, and rewarding experience on the lakes he knows best.


If you’re searching for a local Milford Lake fishing guide who prioritizes teaching, hospitality, and putting guests on fish, Blue Catters Guide Service is ready to take you out.
