Bass and summer run steelhead are in full swing, our temperatures have been soaring so we've focused more on fish health and quick safe releases instead of grip and grins lately! Top water and plastics have been hot for bass and typical steelhead gear for the skamania

Big hex flys are starting but the cool night temps have been keeping hatches slight, the best is yet to come on them as July heats up! Despite the hex flies trout fishing has been steady on both fly gear and conventional fishing. All of our warm water species are in full swing and fishing well

The fishing is good on the Manistee River right mow. The next 3 weeks are prime time. I will be putting the big lake boat in April 4th. So, I will be available for charters on Lake Michigan as well. My schedule is pretty wide open. So some trips would be great.

Steelhead fishing is starting to pick up on the Manistee River. With the warmer temperatures arriving. The fishing will get very good in the weeks to come.

Brian was a fantastic fishing guide. It was me and my two young boys and he did a great job of helping them out and moving around to find fish. Highlight was a 26 inch pike that my ten year old reeled in. Highly recommend and would use him again when in the area.
The trip with Captain Fred was great! My boys enjoyed immensely as did I ! I highly recommend Fred but I also highly recommend using a different platform, this one charges too much, 15% from the captain and another $72 from the client. $200 is a a quarter of the cost of the trip charge . Airbnb and Vrbo don’t charge that much.
Had a great day on the water with Butch. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and put us right on the bass. Caught some fish and learned a few new techniques too. The boat and gear were top-notch, and the whole trip was relaxed and fun.
Great day!!! Alex is very knowledgeable regarding the river,the species, and VERY skillful boat captain. Personable, pleasant, and patient. Makes a great bowl of split pea and ham soup. Will definitely do this again.

We two Japanese guys booked Captain Dan to catch a steelhead!
We had never caught steelhead before but finally did thanks to Captain Dan!!!
He is so supportive and kindness, give a lot of tips and fun talking!!
We spent great time all the day including our first steelhead experience that was exciting so much.
Appreciate thank you for giving my best memory in US before going back to Japan next weekend.
Casey is an amazing guide! Very personable, knowledgeable and patient. He taught us the skills we needed to catch fish. It was a spectacular day. I would highly recommend to first timers and experienced alike.
