Take advantage of the awesome neighboring streams and lakes to try your luck at fly fishing. We rented a cabin on the Manistee River and totally enjoyed the feel of the outdoors.

Remember to bring a big cooler. You will get way more fish than you except. Bring a food deeper to pack them up back at your cabin

When chattering a boat in traverse city - your charter will be in the west or east bay. Your charter will not go out onto Lake Michigan. That would be a 2hr drive just to get there and lots of gas. The bays have the same fish as Lake Michigan.

Be sure to book with a quality Boat Captain that can get you on fish. Fishing is always fun, but catching is even more fun.
