There's a fish with your name on it in Interlochen and Capt. Jon Stefanciw will help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Jon, which means you'll tap into their professional experience.

Brown Trout, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, and more could be biting, depending on when you go.

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Jon also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Your trip begins aboard a 16' Drift boat with space for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Rods and reels are not covered by the charter, so ask the captain about bringing your own or renting some for an extra cost. Be sure to ask about bait and lures as well.

Before coming aboard, you'll 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.

Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Lunch is provided, just reach out to learn more, especially if you have any dietary needs.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Capt. Jon Stefanciw.
