First time fly fishing!
5/5
I've always wanted to try fly fishing, but never had the opportunity. Luke gave me the basics and some practice. Within 20 minutes I caught my first brown trout. Winding down the river with just oars and the river flow, it was very relaxing. Thank you Luke for an amazing trip!

What a great fishing experience with Casey! When I got there, he was already there loaded up and ready to go. He took the time to show me casting tips & to prepare me for our night mousing trip. His knowledge and passion for fishing brown trout is obvious & it made for a awesome & exciting experience! I’ve already rebooked a trip for next season.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient fishing guide with all the right equipment, Casey of Grateful Guide Service is your guide!

My first trout!
5/5
This was an awesome trip! Captain Quinn was friendly, calm, knowledgable, highly amenable, and made us both feel very comfortable fishing the Manistee for the first time. My boyfriend caught over 5 brown trout. I have never went jigging in my life, but Capt. Quinn spent time guiding me on techniques until I caught my first trout. We will definitely be booking a charter with him again. Thanks, Capt. Quinn! Highlight of our trip!

Fabulous
5/5
We booked and have fished at our local lakes back home but not to this caliber. The captain and his son, Tucker, were awesome. They were knowledgeable, accommodating and made certain to make our trip a great experience. My husband, two grandsons and I enjoyed our time and if you’re looking for a great experience chrck these guys out. You will not be disappointed!
