About Go Fish! Charters
Go Fish! Charters is a hands-on, multi-species guide service based in Sandpoint, led by Captain Chad Landrum on the waters of Lake Pend Oreille and the surrounding river and lake systems. Rather than chasing a single trophy species, the charter is built around variety and action, making it an especially popular pick for families and anglers who simply love to fish.
Trips run year-round and are custom-tailored to each group's interests, with targets that can include smallmouth bass, pike, walleye, crappie, trout, and more across at least a dozen species depending on the season. Captain Chad fishes a fully equipped 18-foot Lund and accommodates spin-fishing, bait-casting, and fly-fishing techniques, departing from both Sandpoint and nearby Hope. Whether the goal is fast bites to keep kids engaged or a focused hunt for larger fish, the trip flexes to suit the crew.
The charter operates on Lake Pend Oreille, the Pend Oreille, Clark Fork, and Kootenai Rivers, and Priest and Upper Priest Lakes, giving Captain Chad an unusually broad playground to match conditions and seasons. A conservation-minded approach and a friendly, teaching-first style have earned Go Fish! a strong reputation among North Idaho anglers.
