Trout Fishing
Northern Michigan is well known for its fantastic trout fishing. Something about dancing mayflies in the cedar swamp scenery just sticks with you. The best of the hatches start in late April and hold their own until early July. The mayflies then get followed by terrestrial fishing. That continues into September. The rest of the year is usually best covered with streamers. Peak streamer season being late September through the end of November, or March through early May.
Steelhead Fishing
Steelhead fishing is possible in Northern Michigan from Late September all the way through the end of April. Peak months being October/November or March/April. Both centerpin and fly methods are used. Whichever you prefer, we can take you where the fish are and show you how to catch them.
