SNS Sportfishing and Guide Service is located in Ludington and offers guided river trips.

Capt. Eric will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 6 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Rainbow Trout from October to April and Salmon in September, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, drift fishing, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 19’ Smoker Craft boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. Grilled shore lunch is included on full day trips and can be added to half day trips upon request. For those cold days, the captain will provide a Buddy heater.

Book your trip now and hit the water with SNS Sportfishing and Guide Service.
