I have fished with guide Gerald Arch over the past few years on Lake of the Woods.  Always successful, last year was a noteworthy example of his talents.  A buddy and I hit the area during a cold front and the fish had shut down.  Fishing was tough and other fishermen we talked to were having a difficult time catching anything.  With 3 of us fishing we were only limited to the amount of bait we had with us.  We caught walleye and crappie and smallies.  We had shore lunch every day.  His easy going manner and up-to-date equipment make it very enjoyable.  Raising a young family himself he'd also be a good guide for any young person.  I'll be back again this year."

“I had a blast fishing with Gerald. I had long awaited a fishing trip to Canada, and it was every-bit as good as I imagined it could be. There were times that all three of us were reeling in fish at the same time. The other people staying at the lodge were amazed to know that we were catching fish all day, as they were barely catching any. Gerald was very knowledgeable of the area and baits needed and the boat was very easy to maneuver around in."     Kelly Houston - ST. Joseph, MO

        "Gerald, I just wanted to thank you for the memorable hunt that you provided for me and my son. My son was very excited to get his trophy buck, he is still showing off the antlers. It's one of the biggest buck we have taken (8pts 19 1/2 in. spread and 220lbs). Though I didn't get my buck, I did have my chances, It was more rewarding to see my son take a trophy deer it is something we will never forget. We are looking forward to hunting again with you in the Fall of 2007."        Thanks, Lance Sr and Lance Denny Jr. (Sonny)
