PORT CLINTON, OHIO | LAKE ERIE WOMEN’S WALLEYE WEEKEND
FRIDAY APRIL 17TH, 2026 - MONDAY APRIL 20TH, 2026
TOTAL COST: $900 | DEPOSIT: $300 (THIS IS NON REFUNDABLE)
REGISTRATION OPENS: FRIDAY 12/05/2025
COORDINATOR: BRIANNA FINNEGAN
This spring, Her Wilderness is heading to the world-renowned waters of Lake Erie, known as one of the best walleye fisheries on the planet! Together, we’ll spend two full days on the water, chasing BIG spring walleyes with professional guides who know these great lakes inside and out. Once part of the tournament circuit, our guides now dedicate their expertise to teaching others, sharing their hands-on tactics to help us bring these prized fish into the boat. We hosted this trip for our first time last year and we can’t wait to go back!
From the moment you step aboard, expect early mornings, laughter with new friends, and the excitement of seeing rod tips bend. Each woman will have the opportunity to harvest up to 6 walleyes per day (12 total over the trip), and our guides will clean and package your fish so you can take home the reward of your hard work. Spring fishing is thrilling and unpredictable, weather can play a big role, so come prepared with the right gear, a flexible mindset, and the anticipation of God’s creation showing up in mighty ways.
We’ll be staying together in a cozy Airbnb just outside of Port Clinton, Ohio. With a newly remodeled space, a kitchen equipped for group meals, and a coffee bar for those early mornings before launching, our accommodations are the perfect setting for fellowship and friendship. Be prepared to share a bed or bathroom with another woman, an intentional part of building community on Her Wilderness trips. Evenings may find us cooking together, swapping stories, or grabbing dinner in town after a day on the water.

TRIP EXPECTATIONS + NO DRAMA POLICY
At Her Wilderness, our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and empowering outdoor experience for every woman who joins us. That said, outdoor adventures come with a level of unpredictability, especially when weather, wildlife, and group dynamics are involved. We ask all participants to bring a flexible mindset and a positive attitude. Weather conditions, guide recommendations, and other factors may require last-minute changes to activities, schedules, or game pursued (for example, switching from a duck hunt to a goose hunt if conditions call for it). These decisions are made with your safety and the quality of the experience in mind. If adaptability and going with the flow are not things you're comfortable with, we respectfully suggest reconsidering your participation in our trips.
What You Can Expect:
Outdoor conditions may change plans—including hunts, hikes, or water access.
You may share lodging with others.
Some locations may have limited facilities.
There is no guarantee of harvesting a specific species.
We do everything we can to deliver a great experience—no matter the challenge.
What We Expect:
A respectful, go-with-the-flow attitude.
Willingness to adapt to changes in schedule or activity.
Zero tolerance for drama, negativity, or behavior that impacts the group.
We maintain a strict no-drama policy. Any participant who brings negativity, disrupts the group dynamic, or disrespects staff or others will be asked to leave without a refund and will not be invited back to future events. We are here to build community, confidence, and lasting memories in the outdoors. Thank you for being part of that mission and for helping us keep our trips positive, welcoming, and fun for all!
