Guided Bass & Trout Fishing

One of the large stripers caught by a guest on one of our partner's guided fishing tours.

Find “The Bite” You’re Looking for

Whether you normally just watch fish in an aquarium or you’re a seasoned pro with many a tale, Gene or Ryan Chapman with Beaver Guide Service can help you find ‘The Bite’ you’re looking for. With over 30 years experience, Gene and Ryan are accomplished at providing their guests with unique, pleasant and professional fishing adventures both on Beaver Lake or on the White River. Beaver Lake Dam was constructed by the Army Corp of Engineers from 1960-1966. Behind the dam, the White River flows into Beaver Lake from over 30 miles to the west so by the time the water has made it all the way to the Dam, the river sediment has had time to settle out often making visibility at this end of Beaver Lake a full 20 feet or more. Below the dam, the cool, clear, lake water is continuously released into the next section of the White River making it an ideal habitat for trout and white bass.

Each body of water provides its’ own unique fishing experience, and the Chapman’s are familiar with how to make the best out of either environment. So how does it work? Well, since the goal here is to catch fish, you will need to go fishing when and where the fish are biting and that usually means in the very early morning around dawn. Other times of the year, especially in July and August, the fish are best caught at night after the recreational boat traffic has cleared out. Depending on what you are after and what fish are biting, Gene or Ryan may meet you at our boat dock, but most likely you will meet one of them near the Beaver Dam.

Deposit, Cancellation & Refund Policy

All charters require a $150.00 deposit upon booking. The deposit is non-refundable.
Reservations for trips must be cancelled 30 days prior to departure to receive a full refund. Reservations cancelled less than 30 days before departure for non-weather related reasons will receive no refund unless we are able to resell the charter.
Choices regarding bad weather are made prior to your scheduled departure. If it is raining or significant rain is imminent as indicated by radar, you may choose either to reschedule or cancel and receive a full refund. Since it takes a lot of effort to prepare for a trip, we ask that you be available for a few hours after scheduled departure in case the weather clears. However, the guide may also choose to cancel the trip for safety reasons. If so, you will be offered the opportunity to reschedule or cancel and receive a full refund. This weather policy applies to storms, not temperature. Temperatures on the lake and river can vary during the spring and fall months so please be prepared to dress accordingly.
There are no refunds for early departure from the boat.

What to Wear

Weather on the lake or river is unpredictable and subject to change over the course of a single trip. Extra clothing and rain or wind gear is a good idea since you will only miss what you did not bring along. Sunscreen and sunglasses are very important in the summer.

Fishing License

Two options. You can call 1-800-364-GAME and the conservation commission will take your information and credit card and give you a confirmation number or you can go to agfc.com.

Guided Fishing Policies

You can bring alcohol, but remember the legal drinking age is 21 and it is enforced. You may BYOB subject to prevailing regulations, and glass containers of any kind are not permitted. Safety is always the first concern, therefore moderation is the key while on the water. Excess consumption is not welcome.
Smoking is permitted on board.
Food is not provided. You may bring what you need in the way of simple food, beverages and snacks. A tote bag works well for food and snacks not requiring refrigeration.
