Spend the day with Ripple Effect Guide Service and see what’s biting in Grand Rapids! With Captain Quinn at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Steelhead, Smallmouth Bass, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and more with any luck. On these trips, it’s common to spin using light tackle. Capt. Quinn also offers fly fishing, with the necessary gear included. Fish caught during the trip are yours to keep, so long as they meet regulations. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. How’s that for fresh fish?

You’ll be dropping lines from a 20’ Jet boat with a capacity for 3 passengers. The boat is equipped with all the essentials for a productive journey, such as a wireless trolling motor and navigation gear. Kids are welcome aboard.

It’s always a good idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, snacks, drinks, and sunglasses. Capt. Quinn will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. You’ll need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Now’s the time to experience fishing in Grand Rapids for yourself with Ripple Effect Guide Service!

Great Captain, very professional.

Captain Quinn is an outstanding guide. We caught lots of fish and missed two giants. We are seniors and he was great with my wife and I really appreciated that! Will use him again if I get the chance.
