All Tackle Fisherman

Captain Chris has spent nearly two decades guiding anglers on some of Northern Michigan's most productive rivers, including the Big Manistee, Little Manistee, Pine, and Pere Marquette. Specializing in light tackle and fly fishing, he targets everything from king salmon and steelhead to trout, smallmouth bass, and northern pike.

As an independent guide, Chris takes a highly personal approach to every trip. When you fish with him, you're not one of many clients cycling through a large operation.

Chris especially enjoys introducing newcomers and young anglers to the sport. As a father himself, he understands the value of making memories on the water and takes pride in helping guests learn new techniques while enjoying some of Michigan's most beautiful rivers.
