Pike Dreams - Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a guarantee that well catch fish?

Yes. Often times our success will depend on wind, weather and water conditions, and despite our best efforts the bite may be slow. I will be happy to reduce the rate or reschedule the day at no additional charge-should we encounter a "No-Fish" day. Pike Dreams is a multi-species service and certain weather conditions can improve or reduce the odds of catching certain species of fish. In these circumstances it will be the Guides discretion as to what species we fish for to insure a successful day. Due to increased gas prices, I can no longer offer complete No-Charges

 
May I keep my catch if I wish?

You most certainly may. You are welcome to keep up to a legal limit of each species caught. All minimum length limits, slot limits and one over regulations will be strictly enforced. The decision to keep or release fish is entirely your own. If you decide to keep fish, you will need to provide for transport and clean your own. Sorry, we cannot clean fish on the lake for you.

 
What about Inclement weather?

Unfortunately the best plans can be ruined at the last minute by inclement or severe weather. It is not my intent to place any client or myself in harms way, therefore trips will be canceled in the presence of high winds, lightning, or severe weather warnings. I do realize however that everyone has a different level of tolerance to rain and cold weather. If for example, the forecast calls for a passing shower or drizzle I would expect the trip to go on as planned. Please attempt to contact me as early as possible if you wish to cancel for any reason. Please allow a minimum of a 2 Hour cancellation notice.

Where Do I Meet You?

Arrangements can be made to meet most anywhere on the lake.

Many lakeshore residents meet me on their own dock. There are several municipal docks and public landings. I will suggest the best one depending on where you are coming from. Usually this is in Excelsior or Wayzata. Special arrangements can be made for pickup at area hotels and the Twin Cites International Airport for an additional fee.
