Background
"Sharing my passion for fishing and teaching others is why I guide. My favorite species to fish for is Brook Trout." Mike Koziara has been fishing his entire life, from since he was big enough to hold a rod of his own. He loves working with and teaching his guests all about the wonderful world of freshwater fishing. Customizing trips isn't just a buzzword for him, he loves figuring out what's best for his customers and putting them on the best bite. He's most proud of his charity work and his work with veterans and service men.
Techniques
My favorite styles of fishing are spin and drift methods, although I appreciate a top water take on a dry fly. Fall and spring fishing is primarily drift fishing for salmon and steelhead with floats. Ice fishing we primarily jig.

Fall Fishing is in Full Swing
Fall Fishing is in Full Swing
Sep 1, 2024 Marquette
8-20-24 Marquette County Fall Fishing is around the corner, Fish in inland lakes are holding late summer patterns and water temps are still high. Walleye and Pike have been in 11-17 feet sitting in cooler water near shallow vegetation flats. As temps cool off and autumn rain feeds the rivers King salmon will be heading upstream. These giants of the Great Lakes will soon dominate nearly every section of water that connects to Lake Michigan. Lake Trout fishing near Marquette Michigan will be in its prime as the fall leaves turn and trout head to their near shore spawning grounds and rock reefs. Salmon Fishing starts sept 15th and inland lake Walleye and Pike fishing continue through November 1st. -catch ya on the water Captain Mike Koziara MQT Adventures
