Spring Trout in the Northcountry

Trout season on the Inland Lakes in the Upper Peninsula opens the last weekend in April and runs through September 30th.  Marquette County has the greatest number of trout lakes in Michigan due to the geography of the region and cool deep lakes. Brook Trout, Rainbows, Browns, Lake Trout,and Splake all inhabit these lakes and in the spring after the ice out are hungry and ready to feed.  If you've got the time, we've got the boats, guides, and equipment for a great spring "Trout Fishing Trip" getaway.

This Package includes 2 nights lodging at the Holiday Inn, Philomena Lake Resort on Lake Michigamme, or the Auora Borealis Resort on Huron Bay.  Two days of guided fishing trips are included as is a boat to use own your own the evening of the first day.

Trolling, or casting, or fly fishing methods are all used depending upon the time of day and weather. Our guides are all licensed by the DNR or Coast Guard and are experience trout fishemen and great guys to be with. We also include some lunch and beverages for you. Some items you will need to bring are: Fishing license w/ trout stamp, cooler to take fish home in, rain gear, and spring type clothing.

The lakes we use are Silver Lake Basin, Brockey Lake, Wolf Lake, Clear Lake, Squaw Lake, Lake Areflin, Lake Alice, and Lake Superior at Huron Bay. We can also hit some rivers and streams that have steelhead runs that time of year. And, if you want to modify your trip just ask. We'll be glad to customize one for you.

Spring Steelhead in the Rivers

Our Tributary Rivers here in the Lake Superior watershed open for fishing on the last Saturday in April and are very good fishing up until about Memorial Day when the runoff starts to slow and the Steelhead have spawned and migrated back out into the lake.

We have three primary rivers in the Marquette area that are excellent Steelhead spawing rivers and in which are very accessible for fishing. The Carp, Chocolay, and Little Garlic rivers are are favorites in this area. We also use the Iron, Huron, and Falls rivers which are within about an hours drive away.

We have everything you need for this outing including rods, reels, lures, or flies, nets, and waders. Our guides are there to assist and teach you in the techniques of catching the Steelhead which is notable as the best fishing fish in the Great Lakes region.

If you haven't done this type of fishing before and would like to learn. No Problem, thats what we are here for. Many folks have started with us on the streams and rivers and are now enjoying this sport and have become very good at it.

Kayak Fishing Trips
01 Jun 2004 to 31 Oct 2004

Kayak Fishing is one of the fastest growing and best ways to catch fish that has come along in a while. Think about it. Quiet, shallow draft,able to get into an area a boat or canoe can't, very stable because of the low center of gravity, and less shadowing that can spook fish.

Get into areas where they are lots of fish but are inaccessible to a boat and to narrow for a canoe.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a gold mine of Kayak fishing opportunities. Get in to the headwaters of rivers. Flowages, remote lakes, shallow areas in larger lakes, and even flats of the Great Lakes.

Our Kayaks are designed for fishing. Wide with open cockpits allow for storage of equipment. they all have rod holders for rod storage or trolling while you paddle.

These trips would be classified as Extreme Kayak Fishing Trips. Some portaging could be necessary.

We  supply the kayaks, and fishing equipment, lunch, and transportation to the areas we will fish.

We'll be fishing for Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbows, Northerns and Smallmouth. Spincasting and Flyfishing.

You only need to bring a Fishing License, appropriate clothing, insect repellant.

Canoe And Kayak Fishing Trips In Michigan's Upper Peninsula - Some of the lakes and  rivers we fish are the Escanaba River, Ford River, Dead River, Michigamee River, Pesheke River, Silver Lake, Deer Lake, Goose Lake, Log Lake, Sporley Lake, Crooked Lake, Craig Lake, Greenwood Reservoir, and many others.

You tell us what you really like to do and we’ll put it together for you. On the water we can take up to a party of 4 in two boats or canoes. Along a stream 2 anglers seems to work better.

Most of our trips last the better part of the day so we call them all day trips with a break for lunch on an island , shoreline, or stream bank. All you need is a back pack to carry your lunch.

We have all of the fishing equipment and that’s included in the package price.

We feature Old Town canoes “Discovery” models that are very stable and meant to fish from. We also have aluminum boats if more room or carrying capacity is needed or the lake dictates that we need something larger.
