Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?
Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.
Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.
Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

Does Grand River have good fishing?
The Grand River, flowing through Michigan's Lower Peninsula, is a notable destination for fishing enthusiasts. Spanning over 250 miles, the river offers diverse fishing opportunities across its length. Anglers can expect to catch species such as smallmouth bass, walleye, and various types of trout, depending on the section of the river they are fishing. The Grand River's combination of slow-moving pools and faster riffles provides a variety of fishing environments, making it a versatile spot for different fishing techniques.
Fishing conditions on the Grand River are generally favorable, thanks to its rich aquatic habitat and seasonal fish migrations. Spring and fall are particularly productive times for fishing, with walleye and trout being more active during these seasons. Smallmouth bass fishing can be excellent during the warmer months, as these fish are often found in the river's deeper pools and rocky areas. The river benefits from local conservation efforts, which help maintain healthy fish populations and ensure sustainable fishing practices.
In addition to its fishing potential, the Grand River offers a scenic and enjoyable setting for a day on the water. The river meanders through a variety of landscapes, including wooded areas, open fields, and urban settings, providing diverse views and experiences. Accessibility is good, with several public access points and boat launches available along the river. Whether you’re a local angler or visiting the area, the Grand River provides a rewarding fishing experience with its mix of excellent fishing opportunities and picturesque scenery.
