The Fish Fly Charter – Ludington
Go after delicious Salmon in the Great Lakes aboard 'The Fish Fly Charters!' You'll head out into Lake Michigan to see what freshwater fishing is all about with a local pro. Captain Jason 'Jay' Gallagher has over 3 decades of experience in these waters and is all about having a good time on board.
You'll head out on a 26' Trophy walkaround boat, powered by a single 225 HP Mercury engine. She's the ideal choice for 4 anglers who want to have a productive day on the water and has a ton of goodies to optimize your fishing. Downriggers, Fish Finder, and updated GPS all keep you on top of the fish.
It's all about Chinook and Coho Salmon in these productive waters. Trolling is your best bet here and Capt. Jay ensures you have as many lines in the water as possible. There's plenty of Steelhead this time of year too and any that you hook are an extra bonus for the cooler.
At the end of the trip, Capt. Jay is happy to clean and fillet your delicious fish to cook once you get home. He also provides top-notch Shimano, Okuma, Penn, Diana, and Ugly Sticks gear to make your job easier.
You'll need to remember to pick up a valid Michigan fishing license before you arrive and you're free to stock the onboard cooler with any drinks and snacks you'd like to enjoy.

Half Day Trip (PM) on July 15, 2026 • 3 adultsCaught 9 nice kings an 3 steelhead on a 5 hour evening trip. Captain Jay knows what he’s doing. If you’re going out of Ludington I recommend Fish Fly Charters.
Gregory Racz5.0VerifiedGreat Trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 29, 2025 • 3 adultsWe started off with a very cold morning, 45 deg. and lots of boats! Captain Jason put us on the fish right away, we caught 7 Kings, (1) 20Lbs. and we missed 2-3 more. Great time, Jason worked his butt off for us, much appreciated and would recommend him for sure!
Tina Elrod5.0VerifiedCaught big ones
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 19, 2024 • 2 adultsThe winds were 15-20 miles per hour and water was choppy, but Jason handle it all perfectly and we still caught 6 salmon total with 3 of them weighing over 15lbs. That made my hubby happy. In the end he cleaned the fish and bagged them up for us. We got a nice cooler full and look forward to eating them back in Tennessee. Thanks Jason and Ray Ray (as you called him) for everything.

Shawn VosburgRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMorning voyage with Captain Jay
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 17, 2022 • 2 adultsGreat morning on the water with Captain Jay. Left the dock at 5:15 AM, had four kings in the boat in the first hour. Was very exciting! If we could have reeled in all the bites we had, we would have limited out in the first hour. After the first four and a bit of a lull, Captain Jay gave us the choice of going out to deeper water or staying close where we already caught fish. We decided to stay close and pulled in two more. Captain Jay was very attentive, always asking us how we were doing. He was in constant contact with other boats asking what lures were working for them. He kept changing lures to see what the fish may like. My wife and I had a great time, this trip made a life time of great memories.
Tamara Blanchard5.0VerifiedKnowledgeable and flexible
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 11, 2024 • 2 adultsGreat day on the water (even with my seasickness)! Jason was very considerate and moved us to a calmer location. We caught some beautiful salmon and the weather was great! Looking forward to next year- with the addition of some Dramamine!
