Three-hour guided trips targeting Walleye and Northern PikeMorning and afternoon departures available with expert guideFully equipped Lund boat includes all gear and tackle
When you're looking for consistent action and quality fishing without burning an entire day, this 3-hour guided trip on Last Mountain Lake hits the sweet spot. Guide Tyrell Hanson knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's built this trip around what anglers actually want – flexibility, fish, and no fuss. You can choose morning or afternoon slots, making it perfect whether you're an early bird who loves the dawn bite or prefer to sleep in and hit the water when the sun's warming things up. Running from May 15th through September 15th, this trip targets the lake's bread-and-butter species: walleye and northern pike.
You'll be fishing from a fully rigged Lund Tyee powered by a 200 HP Mercury – a setup that gets you to the fish fast and keeps you comfortable while you're working the spots. Tyrell provides all your gear, bait, and tackle, so you just need to show up with your fishing license and whatever snacks or drinks you want for the trip. The morning departure at 7:00 AM takes advantage of that prime early bite when fish are actively feeding, while the 3:00 PM afternoon option lets you enjoy the day and still get solid fishing as things cool down toward evening. With space for up to 4 anglers, it's sized right for friends or family without feeling crowded. The base rate covers 2 guests at $600 USD, and you can add up to 2 more people for just $100 each – pretty reasonable when you split it up.
Last Mountain Lake fishing is all about reading the structure and adjusting your approach based on what the fish want that day. Tyrell runs a mix of techniques depending on conditions and what's working. For walleye, expect to work jigs tipped with minnows along the drop-offs and rocky points, or troll crawler harnesses when the fish are suspended. The northern pike action often involves casting spoons and spinnerbaits around weed lines and shallow bays, especially during the warmer months when they're ambushing baitfish. The boat comes equipped with quality rods and reels matched to the techniques you'll be using, plus a good selection of lures that produce on this lake. Tyrell knows when to switch things up if one approach isn't working, and he's happy to teach you the techniques so you can come back and fish these spots on your own.
Walleye are the main draw here, and Last Mountain Lake grows some beautiful fish. These golden-sided fighters typically run 14 to 20 inches, with plenty of keeper-sized fish and the occasional trophy pushing 6 to 8 pounds. Walleye are most active during low-light periods, which is why both the early morning and late afternoon timing work so well. They school up around rocky points, drop-offs, and structure, making them relatively predictable once you know where to look. What anglers love about walleye fishing here is the combination of consistent action and excellent table fare – these fish are absolutely delicious and worth every minute you spend targeting them.
Northern pike add the excitement factor to your trip with their aggressive strikes and bulldogging fights. Last Mountain Lake pike commonly range from 24 to 36 inches, with bigger fish always possible. They're ambush predators that hang around weed edges, shallow bays, and anywhere there's cover to stage an attack on passing baitfish. Pike fishing is visual and explosive – you'll see follows, watch fish charge your lure, and feel that heart-stopping moment when a big pike hammers your bait. They're most active during the warmer months from June through August, and they'll hit a variety of lures with attitude. Even if you're not keeping pike for the table, the fight alone makes them worth targeting.
This trip delivers exactly what it promises – quality fishing with an experienced guide who knows how to put you on fish without the commitment of a full day. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the ropes or a seasoned angler wanting to fish new water, Tyrell's approach works for all skill levels. The 3-hour format keeps things focused and productive, and the morning and afternoon options mean you can fit great fishing into almost any schedule. At $600 for two people with everything included except your license, it's solid value for guided fishing. Add a couple more friends or family members for just $100 each, and you've got an even better deal. Last Mountain Lake consistently produces fish, Tyrell consistently puts his clients on them, and you'll leave with a better understanding of how to fish these waters. Book your morning or afternoon slot and see why this trip has become a customer favorite for anglers visiting the area.
Your fishing platform is a 2021 Lund 189 Tyee, a purpose-built 20-foot angling machine that cuts through Last Mountain Lake's waters with authority. Powered by a smooth 200 HP Mercury outboard, this boat gets you to the fish fast—hitting speeds up to 43 mph when you need to chase schools or beat other anglers to prime spots. The Tyee's deep-V hull handles chop like a champ, keeping you stable while working lures for walleye or battling northern pike. Built for serious fishing, it comes loaded with everything you need: rod holders, live wells, fish finders, and plenty of deck space for up to 4 anglers to spread out and work the water properly. No cramped quarters here—just a solid, fisherman-friendly layout that lets you focus on what matters: putting fish in the boat.
Esox LuciusNorthern Pike are Last Mountain Lake's apex predators and absolute blast to target. These torpedo-shaped fish average 2-3 feet but can push 40+ inches, with razor-sharp teeth and an attitude to match. They're ambush hunters that lurk in weedy bays, around fallen timber, and along drop-offs where they can surprise prey. Pike are most active during cooler water periods - early season and fall are prime time, though they'll hit all summer in deeper water. What makes them special is their explosive strike and bulldogging fight. They're not the fastest swimmers, but that initial hit will get your heart racing. Here's a local trick: when a pike grabs your lure, don't horse it. Let them run a bit first - they often grab prey sideways before turning to swallow, so patience pays off with better hook sets.
Sander VitreusWalleye are the perfect combination of challenge and reward. These golden, olive-colored fish typically run 2-4 pounds in Last Mountain Lake, with their distinctive silver eyes giving them a huge advantage in low light. They're structure-oriented fish, hanging around rock piles, weed edges, and drop-offs during the day, then moving shallow to feed at dawn and dusk. That's when our morning and evening trips really shine. Walleye can be finicky, but once you find them, the action picks up fast. They're fantastic table fare - mild, flaky white meat that's hard to beat. My go-to tip: when you feel that subtle tap on your jig, resist the urge to set the hook hard. Walleye have soft mouths, so a gentle lift is all you need to stay connected.
