Great Guide!

Five Hour Guided River Trip3 adults1 child

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.

Response from Captain

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

    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!!

    River steelhead trip with Capt. Chris

    Five Hour Guided River Trip

    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.

    Reported Catch
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

    Great time on the Manistee river!

    Four Hour Trip • 2 adults • 1 child

    Wanted to get away for a weekend with my son and do some fishing. My son loves to fish, but I don’t have much experience so I figured a guide would be the way to go. Chris was absolutely fantastic. He was well equipped with everything we needed and was very personable and knowledgeable about the river. We had quite a few salmon on the line and some epic battles!

    Response from Captain

    Thanks Josh. You and Simon were a pleasure to have on the boat and you both did a great job against some hard fidgeting fish.
