Trout Scout

From September through May, we offer year round guided Manistee River fishing on the upper and lower Manistee river. The Manistee River is one of the finest steelhead, salmon, and trout rivers in Michigan and the Great Lakes area. Salmon start to run our rivers around labor day weekend, we will start chasing salmon then up the big Manistee river.

On Lake Michigan, the port of Manistee is Michigan's premier fishing port. There have been many trophy brown trout and salmon caught from this area. Manistee's proximity on Lake Michigan is just south of the deepest water in the lake, known as the Chippewa basin.

Deep water and fast moving tributary waters make it home to some of the largest "trophy" steelhead and salmon on the Great Lakes and is home to many fishing tournaments throughout the year.Also we have our 27 ft tiara fully rigged for a party up to 4. Capt. Steve Block has been salmon fishing on Lake Michigan for over 40 years, he will definitely put you on the fish.

We're Walleye Fishing Saginaw Bay! Saginaw Bay is considered one of the most productive and fertile areas of the Great Lakes. Walleye are abundant and limits are a sure thing. New DNR limits of 8 Walleyes per person. The 27' Tiara is fully rigged for walleye fishing. This Non Stop Action is great for the whole family and are great to eat.

In the winter months the most popular angling activity is ice fishing. To those who have never tried it, ice fishing is sometimes looked upon as an oddity, but for others, ice fishing is the best kind of fishing. Many die hard anglers actually prefer fishing through the ice to open-water fishing.

For one thing, you can get just about anywhere on a inland lake during ice fishing season, something you can't do without a boat during the open water season.Virtually every fish that's available to anglers in the summer can be caught through the ice - some are even caught more frequently in the winter.
