🐾 Meet 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 – Our Loyal Deckhand Turned Legend 🐾

If you’ve ever been around our dock, chances are you’ve met Captain — the Doberman with the laser-focus, iron loyalty, and silent “don’t mess with my crew” stare. He’s our four-legged protector, first mate, and crowd favorite at On The Fly Charters.

But let’s be honest… if Captain were human?

He’d be 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜 “𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧” 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 —
A former military K9 handler turned charter captain and part-time private security badass.
Decked out in tactical boots, a sharp beard, a hoodie with our logo, and aviators that never come off.
Early riser. Map in hand. YETI packed.

𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐞:
Stoic, sharp, and probably already solved the problem you didn’t know you had.
A little intimidating until you get to know him — then he’s all loyalty, laughter, and lake wisdom.

𝐇𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞:
🐟 Chasing salmon
🗺️ Charting new water
🔪 Fileting like a pro
🧊 Packing a cooler like it’s an art form
⚓ Watching over his crew like a true guardian

Swipe to see Captain in both forms — canine and human. One barks. The other just raises an eyebrow. Both are 100% ride-or-die.

Planning a fishing trip with On The Fly Charters this season? Here's a great place to stay while you're in town.

Our friends at Unsalted Vacations just listed a beautiful 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home in Grand Haven. It's just minutes from downtown and has beach access to Lake Michigan. The perfect blend of space, comfort, and convenience.

Whether you're in town for a charter or just looking to relax on the lakeshore, this home makes a great home base.

Check the comments for availability and booking info.

Just a little reminder of what’s coming… clean cuts, chrome Kings, and good times on the water.

The season’s almost here. Let’s go fishing.

🚨 Important Update from On The Fly Charters 🚨

First off, a HUGE thank you to all of our amazing customers! We truly appreciate each and every one of you and always look forward to getting out on the water together. Fishing with you all is what makes this so much fun!

That said, this season will look a little different. Captain Chris has to focus on the demands of his real job (the one that actually pays the bills 😅), so we’ll be limiting the number of trips we run this year.

✅ If you already have a trip scheduled—you're all set!
✅ If you have a prepaid trip that isn’t scheduled yet—you’re good to go!

We’re still planning to run a select number of charters, but once we fill up, that’s it for the season. With that being said, if you really want to get in on a trip this season, get ahold of me soon for the few slots we still have available!

If we can’t get you on our boat, don’t worry—we’ve got connections with some great local captains and would be happy to help set you up with a fantastic trip.

Thank you again for all of your support! Tight lines and good times ahead!

The 2024 Salmon season has come and gone, but what a season it was! I want to thank all of the new and returning customers, we had a blast fishing with each and everyone of you! 2024 seamed to get better and better every week. I think July and August fishing was as good, or better than anything I have seen since 2012. I have to thank the team that makes this all possible Kevin Holm and Brooks put in a ton of time to make this season awesome. We look forward to all of the trips already scheduled for 2025, and like 2024, I plan to keep the number capped at 80 trips per year. If you are not already on the book for next year, get ahold of me to secure your date…….
