Thatcher's Guide Service

Fishing and Hunting guide service located on the most eastern side of Lake of the Woods in the great town of Nestor Falls.

I own and operate a fishing and hunting guide service in Nestor Falls, Ontario. Nestor Falls is located on the eastern shores of Lake of the Woods, 1 hour north of International Falls, MN. It is 12 hours from Chicago and only 6 hours from Minneapolis. I started guiding at a young age of 14, started my own guide service in 2007 and now have 20 years of experience. My grandfather owned a resort in t

he area and was also a guide. My father guided for 30 years and also owned one of the local bait shops for 14 years. I operate a 19.5' boat with a 175hp Evinrude E-tec that easily handles 4 fishermen. High sides and a full windshield create a safe and dry ride in the worst conditions. Most fishing trips include a legendary shore lunch, bait, tackle and proper fishing equipment to handle all types of fish. Most of our summer fishing is done on Lake of the Woods in Sabaskong and Whitefish Bay area for walleye, crappie, northern pike, muskie, perch and lake trout. Also, there is crystal clear Crow Lake that offers lake trout, muskie, and smallmouth bass. In the winter we fish for crappie, perch, walleye, northern pike, and lake trout. We have many options for ice fishing; fish in a warm ice shack that you can drive your pick-up to, or enjoy a scenic snowmobile ride through the area and fish portage lakes. Full day, half day and evening trips are offered for fishing. I also offer hunts for black bear, moose, whitetail deer and the illusive timber wolf. Nestor Falls has some of the best accommodations around. From cooking your own meals, to all inclusive resorts, camp grounds and several hotels. It has 4 restaurants that serve great food with massive portions. Come check out our area and let's catch some fish and enjoy the outdoors!

It's been a long time time since I've been there but I'm excited to say that we will be at the Minnesota Muskie Expo this coming weekend. My wife and I will be there talking about our Drop Tine Tackle products and muskie fishing at the Thorne Bros. booth. Come say hi, and check everything out. We look forward to seeing you there!!

Big news, covid testing is not required for border travel as of April 1st. Resorts like Muskie Bay Resort are welcoming all fisherman willing to make the trip up. We still have a couple weeks of ice travel left and fishing is just getting better!!

10 years, 10 different winners! It was another great weekend at the 10 th annual Nestor Falls Musky Cup held on Lake of the Woods. Many of Sunset country’s best anglers come together for this one, and many travel quite a distance to try to have their names burned into the Musky Cup. Each team…

We will never forget.

Not often we are able to get a group photo while someone is holding a big fish. It was great to see everyone and catch fish together again. Thank you for making the Trip up!
Jigs from Drop Tine Tackle and minnows from Nestor Falls Bait and Tackle / Maple Leaf Gifts sent everyone home with their limits of walleye and crappie.

Pure Lake of the Woods Gold!!

I sure had fun last week netting big walleye for the guys and also working with Darcy's Guide Service.

It was great to be back out in the boat with long time friends and also got to work alongside long time guide Darcy's Guide Service Definitely a fun couple days!!
We caught a bunch of walleye, had a big shorelunch each day and even found a few big fish as a bonus. All fish were caught on minnows from Swenson Marina and Bait Ltd and jigs from Drop Tine Tackle

I found some time to get out yesterday evening for a few casts and was able to find one that has been eating well!!!
It hit a Blue/Chrome Triple Deuce Elite by Drop Tine Tackle.

It appears I haven't posted much on here over the last while. But there is some potential hope that I might be doing some guiding later this summer!!!
I hope to see everyone sooner than later.

The one-year anniversary of the tightening at the Canada-U.S. border is approaching. Restrictions on border crossings will be extended another month. Pressure is growing for governments to explain their plan for reopening. But the truth is: There is no plan.
