Darkblue Charters and Guide Service
If you're looking to chase world-class Steelhead (Rainbow Trout) look no further. The Big Manistee River is known worldwide as a premier fishing location for trophy fish. As recently as 2010 a world record Brown Trout, weighing in at over 41 pounds, was taken from this very stretch of water, and experts predict that more fish in that class are still waiting to be caught.
Steelhead are known for its amazing fight, acrobatic ability, and natural beauty. Fish with us and tip the odds in your favor as we use only top-of-the-line equipment including the best rods and reels, the hottest lures in the hottest colors. You'll also be riding in a new state-of-the-art 2024 Stealthcraft 18-foot Mod-V jet which is equipped with a full enclosure to ensure you stay warm and dry on your adventure.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome (and sometimes preferred over adults). Child-sized life jackets are available at the customer's request, although most families prefer to provide their own.
Bring along your preferred snacks and beverages to round out your adventure. Alcohol is allowed in moderation.
You will need to purchase a Michigan 'all species' fishing license before your trip. This information is usually available online and one-day licenses are available through the Michigan DNR.
The Big Manistee River and its amazing fishery, wait for you onboard Darkblue Charters.

For anyone wanting to fish on the Manistee river I would highly recommend Chris with dark blue charter. A first class act all the way! Chris is super knowledgeable and can put you on the fish. Five stars!!

Thanks Pam. You and Brian were a pleasure to fish with.

Went on a trip with Chris with my roommate and we had a blast! Super nice guy who makes everyone feel safe on board. Would take a trip again and we plan too!

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you guys again.
Captain Chris was awesome and great guide to learn from. Had some good laughs! He had us on kings through out the river trip.

Thanks Mike. I had a blast foshing with you.

Chris was awesome and he made my two teenage sons feel really comfortable on his boat. Chris was honest with me the day before our trip telling me that the run had slowed down dramatically but we decided to try our luck and both of my boys caught steelhead.we fished several spots throughout the morning and he shared a lot of information about fishing the Manistee river. It was a great day on the river.

Thanks Mike! You guys were a great group to have on the boat and I’m looking forward to fishing with you all again.

Went on a river steelhead trip for my birthday and capt Chris delivered with a trip I won't soon forget. From the top of the line stealthcraft to the nova tackle rods and terminal tackle everything about this trip was as professional as it gets. If you are looking for and unforgettable experience then look no farther than dark blue charters and guide service.

Thank you for fishing with us. I had a great time on the river and look forward to fishing with you in the future.
Mais de 25 anos de experiência a pescar no Lago Michigan e nas suas águas circundantes. Nos primeiros tempos, comecei com o meu próprio barco e, com o tempo, fui subindo até ser marinheiro de alguns dos melhores capitães da região, onde tive a sorte de aprender diretamente com eles. Desde então, acabei por comprar os meus próprios barcos e comecei a guiar por conta própria. Também tenho um canal no YouTube (Tangled Tackle Fishing) dedicado a ajudar outros a tornarem-se melhores pescadores no grande lago e nos rios.
