Randall Miller5.0VerifiedNewGreat company!
6 hour fall steelhead Big Manistee on October 7, 2026 • 2 adultsIt was fishing....not catching. However, I did. manage to land a very nice, clean, steelhead. Chris filleted it up nicely, bagged it, and now it's ready for the grill! I would absolutely book with Chris again. Thank you so much for a memorable experience.
Gary GilmoreRepeat angler5.0Verifiedgreat day on the river
6 hour bass pike on June 2, 2026 • 1 adulti had a great time fishing eith Chris. The fishing was slow which can’t be controlled. We had a great time getting to know each other and swapping hunting and fishing stories. I will fish with Chris again.

6 hour fall steelhead Big Manistee on November 9, 2024 • 1 adultHad a great day on the manistee river, we caught seven steelhead, lost only two, kept one for dinner, and returned the rest back to the river.
Don ZimmermanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFull day trip with Chris
Full Day Trip on September 23, 2022 • 1 adultI had a full day trip with Chris. We started early and saw lots of fish activity in the river. Unfortunately, despite continuing to put me into positions to have good opportunities to catch fish, they just weren't cooperating. Which made landing my salmon so rewarding, especially after a bigger one took me down into the lumber. Chris is a personable and knowledgeable guide, and I would definitely recommend booking a trip with him.
Austin HoodRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat guide

Joe BreggRepeat angler5.0VerifiedEnjoyable day on the River with Captain Chris
Salmon fishing on September 26, 2024 • 2 adultsTrip was as described. We used different techniques and learned a lot about Salmon Fishing. The fish could have been a little more cooperative but after a lot of casts we were able to get a couple in the boat and lost one. Had a great time on the River. I especially enjoyed having someone else rig up my pole while I enjoyed the scenery.
