Local species include Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Brown Trout, Brook Trout, and more if conditions are right.

On these trips, it’s common to drift and bottom fish using light tackle.

You’re free to keep some of the fish you catch, assuming they’re legal to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Make sure you have a cooler ready in the car!

Trips with Tank City Guide Service are fun for all ages, so bring ‘em aboard and get the kids hooked while they’re young! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your adventure begins aboard a 18’ Jet boat with room for 1 passengers. It comes with and everything else you need for a productive day on the water.

You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.

Before coming aboard, you’ll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask.  Lunch is provided, just reach out to learn more, especially if you have any dietary needs.

Now, time to hit the water with Tank City Guide Service!

Full Day Steelhead Muskegon River on April 15, 2023

Jay was a great captain. He contacted me before the trip to let me know about the river conditions and that we should get out on the water early to beat the rush. He put us on the fish right away and we had a great time.
