History
Lake Pepin Guide Service, was founded and operated by Capt. Harold
Rye, in Lake City, MN in 1994. Capt Harold served clients on Lake Pepin
and Mississippi River Pool 4 until 2007 when he sold the business to Capt.
Ken Poole, a longtime tournament fisherman, fishing partner and good
friend. Capt. Ken will continue to give clients a very good time on the
water and will produce good results.
Your Guide
Mississippi River Pools 3 and 4 have been the home waters of Capt. Ken
Poole for over 30 years. In Ken's time on the water there he acquired the
skills that would take him on the Tournament Circuits. For 15 years Ken
fished the MWC, RCL and FLW Walleye circuits where he broadened his
techniques and expanded his fishing knowledge. Ken has years of
experience fishing Salmon and Trout on the Great Lakes, in fact, he still
owns a boat that stays on Lake Michigan. While Capt. Ken fishes mostly
for walleye and sauger, one of his true loves is to take his grandchildren and
find that "Crappie hole" to catch a nice mess for the pan.
The Fishery
Lake Pepin is located in the Hiawatha Valley of Southeastern Minnesota
and Southwestern Wisconsin and is one of the better Walleye and Sauger
fisheries in either state. Bluffs rising 425 feet above the lake contribute to
Lake Pepin's great beauty, and are home to an abundance of Bald Eagles
and other wildlife. A morning sunrise or an evening sunset over the bluffs
with eagles overhead and wildlife along the shoreline is a site not soon
forgotten. Walleye and Sauger are abundant in this scenic stretch of the
river and Lake Pepin and are our specialty. Many other species of fish are
also native to this part of the Mississippi River, including, Bass
(Largemouth, Smallmouth and White Bass), Catfish, Northern Pike, and
Panfish. We will do our best to assure you of the best fishing available at
the time.
The Area
The area offers many things other than great fishing. There are many golf
courses, hiking trails, and antique shops. We have close proximity to biking
trails, tubing, canoing, a water park, and lots of other shopping and
sight-seeing for all. Frontenac State Park, located only 6 miles North of
Lake City, has recorded over 260 species of birds and can be a
birdwatchers paradise. The park also offers a campground and Motorhome
parking. For those who choose, Treasure Island Casino is located only 25
minutes from Lake City.
Fall colors in the bluff area are absolutely breathtaking and happen about
the time the fall fishing gets "hot". What a time to bring the family!
