Missouri Valley Guide Service was founded in 1999 by Joel Vasek, whose passion for fishing and hunting began at an early age. Over the years, Joel built a strong reputation nationwide, speaking at seminars and sport shows and sharing his expertise with outdoor enthusiasts.
In 2007, Joel established Missouri River Lodge, LLC, responding to growing demand for high-quality hunting and fishing vacations. By acquiring additional land and focusing on conservation and land management, the lodge provided guests with premium outdoor experiences, blending expert guidance with well-maintained habitats for game and fish. Joel’s wife, Amanda, joined the team in 2018, enhancing the family-run approach and ensuring each trip offers personalized service.
