There's a fish with your name on it in Brethren and Majestic Michigan Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Josh is prepared to put you on fish. Captain Josh studied fly fishing guiding at the Sweetwater Guide School in Montana and graduated in the summer of 2025.

Around here the fishing is popular for Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Brown Trout, Northern Pike, and more, depending on the time of year.

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Josh also offers fly fishing. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Your vessel for the day is a 16' Smoker Craft drift boat with room for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available.

Before coming aboard, you will 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 may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include a hat, polarized sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray).

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Majestic Michigan Charters!

Half Day Trip – Trout Fishing

Great day on the Manistee

VERIFIED

Captain Josh was friendly and knowledgeable. I learned a lot and got to work on fly casting. The Manistee is a really amazing River. Although due to summer heat the trout were not biting that day. He made sure I was equipped with knowledge and skills to fish any river in the area. I would recommend his guide services. Lastly he made amazing venison burgers riverside.
