Guides
Our Guides - Whether guiding you on the Muskegon, Manistee, Pere Marquette, or White River, our guides are above all, lovers of fly fishing and happy, enthousiastic hosts. As a matter of fact, you will often find us on the river on our days off... fishing Steelhead. We love to teach, and that is why they count it a privilege to introduce people of any age, and with no prior fly fishing experience, to one of the great sports... their sport. For the more accomplished fly angler, our Muskegon River fly fishing guides respect your knowledge and skills and will accordingly give you plenty of space to cast and fly fish in the manner to which you are accustomed. Although our guides seek to give all their clients something new to experience, they learn much about fly fishing, life, and the fish they pursue from our valued clients
