About Your Guide

Blake Wilson

Independent Guide

My name is Captain Blake and I operate out of Lilley's Landing Resort Marina on Lake Taneycomo in Branson Missouri. Fishing has been my passion since I was knee high to a duck. Started fishing at the age of three, and from 5 years old aspired to be a professional fisherman when I grew up. I got into guiding after being led by my mentor Duane Doty, a Lake Taneycomo veteran of over 20 years as a guide. I run a 20 foot G3 gator tough center console boat. Im a one man operation but when group trips are required I can accommodate knowing and working with many of the other professionals on Lake Taneycomo. As a fishing guide I believe in providing a fun, relaxing, entertaining time to take you away from your regular 9-5 and enjoy the peace, serenity and world class fishery that exists in Lake Taneycomo. I not only want you to leave with memories for a lifetime but skills you can take into all your future fishing experiences. So I believe in teaching while guiding from the way the fish behave in specific conditions but also the methods to use for such conditions. Outside of fishing I really only have time for one other lifetime hobby and that is bowling. However time with my family takes precedence when I'm not on the water. When you book with me you can expect a fun, nature filled memory for one or the whole family that consists of laughter, learning, and of course tight lines.
