I offer guiding services on the Pere Marquette River and Upper Manistee River where I fish for Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Brook Trout. I also am a fishing guide on the Upper Muskegon River where I target Smallmouth Bass, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Northern Pike. My favorite fishing techniques for Steelhead on Pere Marquette River and White River are spin tackle or stripped streamers.
I do not target spawning fish, snag or practice the "chuck ‘n’ duck" method as it is not fishing nor fly fishing.
I specialize in ethical fly fishing techniques such as dry fly, nymphing, stripping streamers, swinging streamers, and nighttime mousing.
I love kids and kids, for the most part, love me! If you take a few minutes to look at my social media pages, it’s filled with photos of previous trips where kids had a great time. My trips are designed to be kid-friendly fishing trips with plenty of patience and flexibility in mind. I’m all about family-friendly fishing trips because I love helping make the father/mother and child experience a memorable one.
If you’re searching for an ethical fly fishing guide on Manistee River, Muskegon River, Pere Marquette River, or even White River, give me a try. I run Fly Fishing Michigan Rivers Guide Service in the area and include everything you might be looking for on a fishing trip in Michigan.
Again, I don’t fish towards spawning fish, snag, or practice the "chuck ‘n’ duck" fishing techniques.

Guide was really not into the fishing. I fished that same run later that week with another guide and caught 10 times the fish. The technique was not like it should of been so the flies were not getting down to the bottom. I used other guides that week and have huge success with them. Was not really impressed with captain nick. Would not use him again
