Northern Michigan Guided Fishing 

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.

We had a great time on this salmon fishing trip. The weather was perfect and the leaves were in full color. The fishing was everything we hoped for. I usually fish for salmon in Alaska but wanted to try it closer to home. It did not disappoint at all. Casey was a great guide for us. He was patient while we learned a new technique and made sure to put us on fish. I would recommend him to anyone and this will now be an annual trip for us.

Perfect weather. Fishing was a little slow but Casey kept working it and we ended with 5. Could have had more but it took us a while to figure out the technique since it was our first time doing this type of fishing. I would definitely book with Casey again if I go back to this area

panfish, small mouth bass. captain had nice tackle for everyone to use, maximized our opportunities to find fish, and was very patient with our 10yo daughter. Want to go back and try his night trout fishing trip. Strongly recommend!

I always wanted to fish bobber floating. limited out on salmon river fishing. Casey put the boat where the fish were. I will be back for fly fishing for browns next year. If you’re reading this book it! well worth it!

I decided to book me and the hubby a charter trip last minute for our anniversary and it was the absolute best decision! We caught amazing fish and Casey was the most amazing guide!!! 10/10 recommend!!!!

Half day salmon trip on the river was really fun and it was very cool to learn some new fishing skills for catching salmon. Casey was truly excellent in every way.

I had a great time, and my tour guide knew his job. that makes a huge difference 👏

Casey was exceptional, and very accommodating and patient. I was a total fly fishing newbie. Had never caught anything on a fly rig in my life and basically didn’t know how to cast. With his coaching I was able to become a serviceable mouser by the first hour of the trip. Once I got the hang of how to do it I caught some fish! What was particularly impressive was Casey’s knowledge of the river. He basically knew where every brown trout lived on the river. Knew every bucket that the fish hung out in. Knew where to maneuver the boat to make the best casts. The overall experience was excellent. Night fishing was also completely new to me and now that I’ve done it, I can’t believe I didn’t think about it sooner. We had the whole river to ourselves. And time spent making productive casts was at a maximum. You make so many casts you go on autopilot after awhile and Casey is a great guy to talk to while you’re swinging away and zipping your mouse from bank to bank. He is very entertaining and personable and has some incredible stories to share. On our trip the forest really came alive at night with coyotes and fireflies that added to the experience. I highly recommend giving this a try.

Casey was a fantastic guide. Logisitcs were smooth and learned a ton out there. He was incredibly knowledgable and had all the tools improve our chances of a catch. Went from being a pure beginner to reeling in big fish on my own by the end!
