Steelhead float trips are offered on the west coast of Michigan spanning anywhere from Grand Rapids to Traverse City. We travel all around the state to provide you with the best action and chance at landing a trophy fish. All fish over 8-10 lbs will be released to help ensure the future of the fishery. 95% of the Steelhead we catch are released, but fish can be kept in moderation depending on size/age/hatchery variables that make some better to harvest than others. We have a special fishery and it's up to individual efforts to keep it that way. Northwest Michigan has some of the finest wild Steelhead fishing in the states. Try taming one of these gems in the skinny water!

open water salmon

Our open water fishing is primarily based out of Ludington, Michigan. As Salmon from Lake Michigan migrate near shore in late Summer, we begin targeting them using trolling gear & jigging with open face tackle on live sonar. This time of year fish are aggressive, feeding heavily in preparation for their final journey into the rivers where they will begin their spawn. Fish this time of year are in their best form -big, chrome and fresh off the lake! Often providing the best time to keep for table fare. It's tough to beat fishing this time of year! We run all open water trips in our new 2024 custom 18ft Stealthweld.

River king salmon

River Salmon trips are primarily based in the Northwestern tributaries of Michigan. We target King Salmon & Coho Salmon by floating chunks of bait (skein/roe) under a float in deep holes and cast hardware such as Deep Diving crankbaits & Spinners.

We do not sight fish or target fish actively spawning on their beds. If you would like to bottom bounce deeper holes or overhead cover that's permissible. We run a ethical, fair chase guide service. People say salmon don't bite in the rivers, I'm here to show you otherwise! Come battle the hardest fighting fish the Great Lakes has to offer!
