If you're going to cast a line in Baldwin, look no further than Cast Away Guide Service. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Clint can tell you all about them.

Steelhead, Brown Trout, Salmon, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, and more are in the cards if conditions are right. During the trip, you might be spinning, drifting, or fly fishing.

Trips with Cast Away Guide Service are fun for all ages, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are also a good idea – luckily, Capt. Clint will have some on board!

Your excursion begins aboard a 16' ClackaCraft drift boat with a capacity for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

It's always wise to bring polarized sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), a raincoat, a camera, insect repellant, a hat, and gloves. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food on the full-day option and some light snacks included on board.

I have been a professional fishing guide for over 20 years. There are few things I like better than escorting family and friends down the river to catch the fish of a lifetime. The rewards I experience from river guiding are twofold. First, and most importantly, is assisting a fly-fisherman and educating them about all facets of fly-fishing. Second, and most importantly, is to supply them with the best opportunity at a trophy fish while providing a great and safe experience on the river. My love for the Pere Marquette River started in 1991 when I started frequenting the area. As a result, I now have the privilege to own and operate the Red Moose Lodge and Cast Away Guide Service. My businesses started in 2003 with the support of my wife Debi and son Adam and haven't had one regret. I'm an Orvis-Endorsed Flyfishing Guide, have all State and Federal licenses to guide those rivers, am fully insured, and am also certified in First Aid/ CPR. I have been tying flies and fly fishing the PM, and many other rivers, for over 28 years. I invite you to book a trip and spend some time on the water with me. It will be a great day on the river!
