Casey is a great guide!
Trout Fishing Fly/Gear-Full Day on June 17, 20262 adults

Casey was a great guide on our Manistee River trip for trout. He has a lot of knowledge to share, he was courteous, helpful, and funny, and his boat and equipment were great. My husband and I had a great time, and we fished a full-day trip with Casey, but we only landed one trout... not for lack of trying, though. Casey helped us throw multiple things at them, the bite was just abnormally slow. We tried crankbaits, spinners, and flies. Recent rains really stained the river water, and we tried hard, but the fish just weren't having it today... no fault of Casey's, though. He's a great guide, and we would recommend him highly to others. He will do his absolute best to put you on the fish.

Casey was beyond patient. Both of us were complete beginners and messed up every cast that we tried but Cacey patiently and very graciously help us out every time we messed up . He encourage us along the way we had a blast felt safe, had fun and caught quite a few fish. I would highly recommend him and his service. Looking forward to seeing him in the winter and going ice fishing riding.
