5 Hour- Mix Fly, Cast(PM)

Awesome day!

Had the chance to fish last fall with some friends and Captain Jordan while doing some inland lake walleye trolling and jigging. Caught a mixed bag of some largemouth bass, a couple smaller pike and a few very nice walleye! His boat was very nice, perfect for the three of us - more than enough room for casting/moving around etc. At the end of the evening we received perfectly cleaned walleye filets and Jordan even recommended a few other places for us to check out in the Traverse City area during the rest of our visit. It sounded like he could take us to multiple different lakes depending on the species we were chasing, I think we are going to try for muskie next time!

Walleye with Capt. Jordan Young

Had an absolute riot walleye fishing with Captain Jordan Young of Pursuit Sport Fishing in Traverse City. The boat was streamlined and rigged up with the best quality rods, reels that made the experience even better! He makes it look easy. After bringing in my personal best, I highly recommend Pursuit for an unforgettable fishing adventure. Big lake or small. Looking forward to book him again!

Half day fishing trip with J Young

Caught many bass, some even over 20". They hit streamers on sinking line and poppers on floating line. -I had a few pike follow my fly to the boat and had 1 take the streamer. My first pike on a fly rod. -When the sun got higher we switched over to bluegill on small fly rods and had a blast catching them on surface poppers. What a great time!

It was a pleasure having you out on the water. There’s not much more fun for a fly angler than catching big bass, a pike and some gills on the fly! Can’t wait to get you back out sometime. Thanks Scott!
