Michigan Steelhead and Chinook Salmon Fishing!

NOW BOOKING RIVER STEELHEAD TRIPS!
Experience some of the great late winter and spring river steelhead fishing that Michigan has to offer. These fish can be super aggressive and once hooked those fish are known for their exciting leaping ability. Inquire now for more info and to reserve a date for your guided river steelhead trip!
Don't delay--Open dates are available in February, March and April and fill up fast for this premiere fishery!
Prime dates available in the months of February, March and April!
All gear (rods, reels, spawn, crankbaits) is provided and trips will last as long as the fishing is productive.
Hot beverages (coffee, tea, spiced cider) and bottled water are also provided with your trip and I carry a heater in the boat should conditions require a "warm up."
What you need to bring is:
Suitable clothing (warm clothes and raingear)
Waders (if needed)
Camera
Valid Michigan All Species fishing license
Snacks or packed lunch
Catch and release fishing is an encouraged angling practice that I support, but at the same time, Michigan’s DNR sustains our wonderful fisheries to provide a harvest as well. Fish cleaning and packaging is provided for a $10 fee and you’ll need to bring a cooler along if you want to take home some of your catch for a tasty meal or two.

Big Manistee River Chinook Salmon trips begin at 4:30am rain or shine and we’ll be out on the water for a minimum of 8 hours—sometimes longer if the fishing is hot. Due to the increased amount of boat traffic on weekends, trips during week days (Mon. – Thurs.) are encouraged!
Michigan Steelhead trips begin at 7:00am earlier in the season and 8:00am as we get into winter.
