The Fish Fly Charter – Ludington
+58Go 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.
Take advantage of the summer Salmon run on Lake Michigan aboard The Fish Fly Charters!

Caught big ones
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 19, 2024
The 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.

Great 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!

Jason was extremely knowledgeable and knew how to get us into some fish. He has the experience and equipment to do things right. He was wonderful with my kids and I would recommend him to anyone I know. I was extremely impressed.
