Chromeseekers – Big Manistee River 

Come fish with Chromeseekers! After Lake Michigan, Captain Dan and Keygan offers yet another adventure. This time, you can join them on the Big Manistee River. Keygan will run all of September trips and early October. Dan will come down once the Betsie and Lake Mich slows.

Keygan will also be running trips for Dan from April 5 to June 5 as Dan hits the Detroit river.

Depending on where the salmon are in numbers on the manistee, we might suggest fishing the betsie river if we cant offer a great trip on the Big Man.

Rest assir, we will get you on the best fishing possible. The trips are suitable for both beginners and avid anglers, so there’s a fish to be found for everyone.

You’ll be fishing 1 of 2 boats.

One is a 17’ Smokercraft boat that accommodates up to 2 anglers during steelhead and 3 during Salmon. This jet boat is powered by a 40/60 HP Yamaha engine.

Keygans boat is a 16 ft stealthcraft power drifter with a 60/40 jet.

Steelhead fishing gets going sometime in October when we get some rain and cooler temperatures.

Winter can be a great time because the crowds are gone. Don't let the snow or cold stop you because this can be some good fishing for winter-run Steelhead. Due to freezing conditions, we will not run any trips under 30 deg through fishbooker.

Late February the spring run starts to show up and can get good anytime between late February and late April depending on the weather. Available until May.

The captain takes care of your fishing equipment, including lures and gear.

Don’t forget to purchase your fishing license and pack some snacks and drinks for the day.

**Due to increase in cancellations once your trip is booked you will owe the remainder of the $100 deposit to Chromeseekers Sportfishing. Thisnis refundable ifnwe have to cancel due to weather. Cost of the trip will be the same as what fishbooker charges not including gratuity. Thank you for understanding.
