About Your Trip

Have you been looking for a fun way get into Michigan trout fishing? Let Captain Fred take you out on the Manistee River for an unforgettable angling adventure! His 14 years of experience fishing the river provides him with the knowledge needed to find the fish and get you into the fight.

On this trip, Captain Fred will take you out in search of various species of Trout, including Rainbows and Browns. These fish are
great fighters and terrific table fare, and once you hook a winner, Captain Fred is more than happy to fillet and package it for you. Just make sure you bring along a cooler for your catch.

Captain Fred will take you out on a 31' Tiara sportfisher, custom-built in Michigan. She's powered by two 385-HP Crusaders, and is fitted with all the necessary equipment for trolling and light-tackle fishing. She even has an onboard restroom so there's no need to pause the action. Captain Fred provides you with all the angling equipment you'll need, so just remember your Michigan fishing license, sunscreen, proper clothing, and some snacks and drinks and you'll be good to go!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
