With a love for fishing that started as a small child, Captain Chris' passion for fishing grew into a life-long hobby. For the past 15 years, he has been tournament fishing up and down the coast of Lake Michigan. During the pandemic of 2020, he decided to follow his dream and open a charter business to provide the highest quality fishing charters.

    Worth every penny

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    I was in constant contact with Captain Chris leading up to our trip, and he was always quick to respond and keep us updated on weather and plans. On the day of our trip he got us out on the water quick and we had fish on the boat before we could even get all the lines out! I got to watch all my brothers and dad catch monster salmon, and a once in a lifetime giant brown trout! I will definitely be booking with Captain Chris again! Great memories made!

    Reported catch:
    Brown Trout
    Chinook Salmon
    Response from Captain

    Thanks again for coming out, we had a great time fishing with you guys. I am glad we were able to help create some great memories, and wow that Brown Trout was a Stud! I will remember that fish, and the funny story behind it for a long time :)

    9 Year Olds Dreams Made & Love for Fishing Set for Life

    Weeknight 4 hour Sunset Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    What an incredible day. Captian Chris and Kevin worked hard to make sure we had the best time on the lake! It was my son’s first time and we weren’t sure how he’d do on the water. Captain Chris worked to make it as comfortable as he could while still finding the fish and that he did. We caught Steele heads, Coho, Kings, and even found a Pink Salmon! Such an incredible day and one we will be talking about for a very very long time! My son loved fishing before we went out, but how I can guarantee we have an angler for life. Thank you Captain Chris & Kevin!!! We will be back!

    Reported catch:
    Coho Salmon
    Response from Captain

    We had a great time fishing with you guys, it is always a blast to get kids on fish! I think you have a true angler on your hands and his passion for the sport is great! Thanks again for coming out with us.

    Great Fishing Trip

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 3 children

    1st Lake Michigan fishing charter. We had a great time! Captain Chris was awesome. 1st mate Kevin was fantastic working with our 3 boys (7-11yo). We caught 10 fish (Kings, Cohos, Steelhead, and even a Lake Trout). Boys had some mild motion sickness issues (which Capt Chris did everything to avoid) but in spite of this they all said they had a blast and want to do it again. Highly recommend On the Fly Charters and would definitely fish with them again!

    Thanks again for coming out Matt, we had a great time fishing with you guys!
