If you're ready to enjoy fishing in Newaygo, we've got you covered with Crimson River Guide Service. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jacob can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. On the day of your trip you're likely to spin using light tackle.

Crimson River Guide service welcomes kids aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

You'll be dropping lines from a 18' Huron jet boat with space for 3 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Jacob will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to get 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.

A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Captain Jacob and Captain Tim were great. We chartered two boats and both groups were happy with their catch and will enjoy the many memories made. Thanks for the fun trip!
