Book your next trip with Steelhead Nation Outfitters and find out what makes the fishing in Manistee so unique. With Captain Anthony at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Coho Salmon, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. On these trips, you can expect to troll using heavy tackle.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your excursion begins aboard a 28' Cherokee sportfishing vessel with room for 5 passengers. It comes with downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
You can't go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, come aboard with Steelhead Nation Outfitters and get hooked!

I picked this charter because I loved the boat. I've been on a charter in the Great lakes before and it felt like I was on a military fishing trip not so much fun. These guys were excellent they were fun they were ambitious they helped us with everything we needed help with they made sure we got on the fish and we caught 14 big salmon awesome day for everyone can't thank them enough for this wonderful day. They even helped my father-in-law get a big King Salmon pulled in. It made his day as all of ours thanks again yours truly Tara Young
caught 3 king salmon!!!
I have been a novice steelhead and salmon fisherman for 15 years, I'm 25 years old but don't let my age deter you! I'm incredibly knowledgeable in great lakes fishing and about both rivers listed to fish. I will do my absolute best to make sure you and your group not only get on fish but also have an amazing time doing it!
