5 Hour Trip – Winter Steelhead

Cold and Beautiful, but not very Productive

Capt. Dan was unavailable due to holiday commitments with family, so co-Capt. Keygan guided. With a high of only 20 degrees, they made every effort to keep me warm, including a portable propane heater in the boat. I did not get cold until the very end, so 5 hours is the max is recommend. The knowledge of each hole depth, location of snags, and drift lines was perfect, but we only hooked one fish. The scenery was gorgeous, but if you’re looking to catch you might want to hold off for a better... More

So If I understand correctly, we did everything we were suppose to but the fish did not cooperate which is why we got a terrible review. Fish don’t cooperate on every single trip especially with 20 deg weather which you knew when you booked. Looks like you enjoyed yourself though with our efforts. Steelhead fishing is about the experience and the beauty not how many fish end up in the boat. Probably should have not ran the trip with it being 20 deg as it is brutal on gear and it malfunctions in 20 deg weather but it was your only day. Had I know you were looking for big numbers I would not have suggested steelheading as a trip for you. Unfortunately we have no control over the weather. All we can do is give it our best effort every trip and hope the fish are biting. The Betsie has been fishing very good lately. Sorry it wasn’t for you. Thanks for booking!

We went out with captain Dan having never fished for anything more than a sunfish! Dan was very prompt in communication prior to the trip which was great because we had to change the location of our trip due to poor fishing conditions. He arrived on time and was a very patient and experienced teacher. We tried for steelhead on the big Manistee but we were not successful in catching one. Dan helped us catch some salmon, though. We appreciated that Dan was very diligent about catching the fish... More

My girlfriend, and I had a great time fishing with Dan! Lots of experience, excellent knowledge, and great gear. A perfect morning with four large salmon caught. We plan on booking another trip with him next year.

If you have never fished a river before you should definitely do it. If nothing else just to meet and talk to Captain Dan. What a great day! It was good not to have to do anything except show up at launch time and let Captain Dan worry about the rest. who we found very helpful and professional. Although the pike were hiding we still had a good time.
