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!

    This weekend is our Famous Trout Opener Saturday. A few Steelhead are around but mostly Brown and Rainbow Trout are the likely catch. It was a great Steelhead run but it was a cold one..Lots of cold mornings and mild afternoons. Book a trip and we will fly fish or Spin fish for your favorite.. Trout..

    Hi All There is about 4 to 6 weeks of Summer heat left. Time to cash in on Pike and Smallmouth Bass. I have been fishing Browns and Rainbows for a few hours in the a.m. then switching over to Bass and Pike as the water warms. Fishing has been good. Mid August thur Mid September is a great time to book trips for King Salmon as they make there way up into the rivers to spawn. We catch these awesome sport fish with spinning gear and lures. It's bass style casting for 10lb.--30lb+ Salmon biting a lure your casting and retrieving similar to Bass style fishing. We cast flies for the Kings as well but best results are from the lures. Book a trip and get in on the action. Tight Lines Clint

    In the fishing world a Trout on a Dry fly is considered to be at the top of the list. Now is the time to try that. Dry fly fishing is going very well. Nymph fishing is good also when the bugs are sleeping or it's chilly out. River Fishing for Smallmouth Bass and Pike is way more fun than in a lake. I would suggest trying it also. You are free floating down a stream casting at all the banks and structure and not a Jet Ski or Ski Boat in sight. Peaceful quiet as the predator's lurk in the water chasing your fly or lure, then the strike ! Come up this Summer and try out our stream fishing opportunities! Book a Full day or Half day trip !

    Hi All The Opening Day of Trout Season is almost here. It has been a great Steelhead season ! The last few days out with Client Pete and friends Brooke and Russ have been a lot of FUN ! Catching Steelhead and Brown Trout on Streamers is a blast. Bone crushing strikes, rip the rod from your hands, if you let them..The boat launches are way less busy than a couple weeks ago as my picture shows. Book a trip and sit in that seat and we will cast flies or lures all day or half day from the casting brace. I will be back out tomorrow and with any luck getting more pictures for the next report.

    The Pere Marquette River is warming and so is the action. Many Steelhead are fresh and 100 ft down stream in the blink of the eye with water temps in the 50's.There is a great mix of Steelhead and Brown Trout eating flies. Best flies have been Stone Flies, Salmon Parr, Hairs Ears, lastly egg flies. I have been pretty busy the last week+ and have had lots of great return clients. I have open dates and not sure how long the Steelhead run will last? This April 29th. is our Trout Opening Day. This opens up hundreds and thousands of miles of closed stream, re-closing is October 1st. This creates the Wild Trout fishery we have that and our cold spring fed water. Can't wait to meet you !

    Nymphing for Steelhead was very good today and clients Nate and Micky had a blast. Streamer and lure fishing is picking up with the warming water temps. Fly fishing or spin fishing is very good to great with current conditions. The Spring run is here. Tight Lines Clint
