[jdelow77]

Im looking to take my groomsmen on a striper trip, who would be the best guide for us? when would be the best time to go ? i wanted to wait until it got a little warmer but, we also want to catch fish.....

Jr. Adams, if he's still alive. Fished with him in the early 80's, he knows what stripers are doing 24/7..

Ed Chapko would be my pick. Super nice guy and a great guide.

Jr. Adams fishes out of Lost Bridge North... If you want to fish the damm end of the lake, he is your man... But, I would call him and let him pick the date ( if you are flexible ).....

Fished with beaverfever last fall. I definitely recommend Don. Make sure that Don is your guide. Be flexilble and call now...

i think the topwater is best in May...the fish are probably up the river now...which is also good.

i'd say best time is winter and spring for stripers.

i've fished with 3 different guides...Chapko, Andreason, and joe fargas.

i think Chapko will work harder for the fish than any of the three...good guy and good equipment. prairie creek area

Andreason knows what he's doing, but equipment (rods/reels) are junk...and he is a little gruff.

Fargas is a nice guy...with good equipment. fishes the dam area.

Cant say Im the best, but I Do try as hard as any, with 8 good bait rods, 2 umbrella rods, & casting rods. If party is more than 4 I use eathier Johnny Glantze ( www.big1sstriperguide.com ) or Gean Chapman (www.beaverguideservice.com ) as 2nd boat. Fishing out of Praire Creek or Hickory until end of april. Than the dam or Praire pretty wll puts us on fish spring thru summer. If you get a big one I can even mount it for you at a discount. 2007 graduate of Colorado Instatute of Taxidermy. Im out of Holiday Island & when on Beaver have just fished Stripers since 94. I also do a lower rate trip for Walley,Whites, Crappie, & Trout up the Beaver Tail Waters out of Holiday Island. The wallye are moving up river now for a good March & April spawn. www.fishofexcellence.com )

My name is Robert & wish you a good day on the water whoever you choose. All the guides listed by others above are also very good with a lot of years behind them.
