Clients absolutely love bobber downs with something wonderful on the end of that line which gives the arms a work out.

Only 3 dates remain for the fall King fishing in the month of October: 3rd, 8th and 9th. These are weekday trips, which means less people and less pressure.

Contact the office at 231.668.8065 to book one of the remaining days on the Big Manistee River.

Not fishing related but lest we never forget...

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 19....

They paid the ultimate price for your freedom. You live your life the way you do because of them...

D-Day!

What a great weekend of fishing. Nothing better than when a family (Uncle and Nephew) get out on the water for lots of laughs, jabs at each other and of course lots of fish. Boated over 40 fish during the adventure as this is just a sampling.

Water temps are warming and these fish won't be around much longer. Now is the time to get out and hit the fish before they scoot out to the lake.

Give us a call at 231.668.8065 or direct message us for special Easter 2024 fishing adventures for this upcoming Thursday/Friday (28th/29th) or Sunday/Monday (31st/ 1st).

What a great weekend fishing with clients who are good friends! The laughs we shared, the jabs made at each other and most of all the ribbing that occurred when we each lost fish!

Weather and water made the bite tough but we did get into a whole bunch of fish (couldn't keep up with the pictures of all that were caught).

This Friday March 15th is available and open for a fishing trip. Give us a DM or call our office at 231.668.8065 to hit the water with Capt. Brad.

Grab your friends and go out fishing!

Michigan Steelhead Restrictions and Policies effective 04.01.2024
DNR News
Jan. 8, 2024
Contact: Jay Wesley, 616-490-5090

Regulation amendment for select steelhead rivers takes effect this spring steelhead in net in water.

The Michigan Natural Resources Commission recently adopted regulation changes to establish a daily possession limit of one (1) rainbow trout 20 inches or greater year-round on select rivers, effective April 1, 2024. The amendment will be a new component of the current daily possession limit regulation covering Type 3 and Type 4 waters where five (5) fish, but no more than three (3) trout 15 inches or greater with only one (1) rainbow trout 20 inches or greater are allowed.

The selected rivers are listed below by type regulation category. Where a confluence is mentioned, that simply means the point where two flowing bodies of water join together.

Type 3 waters
Bear Creek (Manistee County): upstream boundary, County Road 600; downstream boundary, confluence with the Manistee River.

Carp River (Marquette County): upstream boundary, confluence with Morgan Creek (T47N, R25W, S4); downstream boundary: Lake Superior.

Manistee River (Manistee County): upstream boundary, Tippy Dam; downstream boundary, Railroad Bridge below M-55 (T21N, R16W, S6).

Muskegon River (Muskegon and Newaygo counties): upstream boundary, Croton Dam; downstream boundary, M-120.

Pere Marquette River (Mason County): upstream boundary, Reek Road (Indian Bridge); downstream boundary, Old U.S. 31.

Type 4 waters
Betsie River (Benzie and Manistee counties): upstream boundary, Kurick Road; downstream boundary, M-22.

Little Manistee River (Lake, Manistee and Mason counties): upstream boundary, Johnson’s Bridge (Johnson Road); downstream boundary, 300 feet above the Little Manistee River Weir.

Pere Marquette River (Lake and Mason counties): upstream boundary, upstream edge of the boat ramp/slide at Gleason’s Landing; downstream boundary, Reek Road (Indian Bridge).

Pere Marquette River – Big South Branch (Mason, Newaygo and Oceana counties): upstream boundary, confluence with Beaver and Winnepesaug creeks; downstream boundary, confluence with the Pere Marquette River.

Prairie Creek (Ionia and Montcalm counties).

Rogue River (Kent County): upstream boundary, Rockford Dam at East Bridge Street; downstream boundary, confluence with the Grand River.

Whitefish River including East and West branches (Delta County): upstream boundary, from 38th Road (USFS 2236); downstream boundary, U.S. 2 bridge in T41N, R21W, S28.

White River – North Branch (Oceana County): upstream boundary, Arthur Road; downstream boundary, confluence with the main branch.

The new fishing regulations came in response to public comment to the Michigan Natural Resources Commission in support of lower bag limits for steelhead to increase catch and release opportunities in certain rivers that support natural reproduction of steelhead.

The regulation changes will be reflected in the 2024 fishing regulations booklet, which will be available at Michigan.gov/DNRRegs in March 2024, and on the Michigan DNR Hunt and Fish app April 1, 2024.

What an amazing adventure our clients had over the Christmas and New Year period of time. The clients split their time steelhead fishing and trout fishing. The laughs they shared, the jokes made and most of all the huge amounts of fish they caught. Lots of doubles and a few triples on the trout fishing end of the adventures!

The amount of bobber downs with fish on the end of the lines were amazing. This is not even the amount of fish pictures captured that they wrangled into the boat for their trips with us.

The weather really cooperated as well to enjoy awesome fishing here on our lovely water systems in Michigan.

Get out to enjoy the winter weather and grab your friends to have a great time. Heck even the guide got to jump in and fish to enjoy some time feeling that tug on the end of the line!

Very cool video!

This is what fishing is all about. It's the next generation coming into the passion. Our client wanted to take his son on his first King Salmon river fishing trip. Well the fish certainly did not disappoint. Colton was so excited and enjoying every minute of his trip with his dad. The best thing one can ever do is #takeakidfishing. Let them experience what our lakes and rivers offer. Help them, teach them and guide them to enjoy fishing.
