Your Okoboji fishing guide

Welcome to the Hale’s Guide Service site. I was born and raised in the Iowa Great Lakes area and consider this chain of lakes some of the best in the Mid-West. Each lake has it’s own special appeal. The Iowa Great Lakes offer incredible fishing opportunities for many species.From open water to ice fishing,I'll provide whatever service you or your group needs for a fun day on the water.Even if you do not want to fish,we can still spend the day on the water taking a tour of the IGL's area.
I’ve been active in many tournaments, from hard to soft water, from bass to bluegill, I’ve enjoyed the competition. On the walleye side of things I have fished the IWTT, GNWC, and the PWT. Bass fishing can be awesome on the IGL’s chain.I have fished the P.V.A. B.A.S.S. and Fishers of Mens tournaments on these lakes.

From the novice angler to the most serious angler, I can provide whatever it takes to have fun on the water. Bring a great attitude along, and I’ll do my best for you.

For large groups outtings I can line up other guides for a day on the water.

I am happy to announce that once again rates for the 2011 open water season will remain the same.This will be the 5th year in a row that Hale's Guide Service rates have stayed the same.
