About Gone Guided
Gone Guided is your next great adventure is waiting. With an excellent selection of experiences provided by expert local guides, booking your next great excursion has never been easier!.
Our Mission
Gone Guided was founded on a simple belief: everyone should have the opportunity to experience the thrill of a perfectly guided fishing trip — regardless of their skill level, location, or experience.
We started in 2020 when our founders, both passionate Clients, struggled to find and book quality local guides. They saw an opportunity to build a platform that makes discovering, comparing, and booking professional fishing guides as easy as ordering food from your phone.
Today, Gone Guided hosts thousands of trips across freshwater, saltwater, fly fishing, ice fishing, and more — with a growing network of verified, licensed guides in every major fishing destination in the country.
