Great Lakes / Big water Smallmouth Bass Fishing May 20 - July 10
Grand Traverse Bay is a gem of a Smallmouth bass fishery! Smallmouth as large as 8lbs are caught on this large set of bays known as West and East bay. Water depth of 597 feet, and temps bouncing from the 70's down into the 40's can make fishing tricky! One of the best places in the United States for trophy smallie fishing for fish over the 5lbs mark. We offer both fly and light tackle trips for these trophy fish. Fly fisherman are looing for smallies in the shallows in June, and gear fisherman cast to vast groups of pre spawn smallies on the drops early season in late May, and drop shot the deep weed beeds during the hot summer months. The big water has a great food source for these trophy fish in the Goby!! Crayfish and Bait Fish patterns and lures are also used.
Summer River Smallmouth Bass Fishing July 10 - Sept 1
River smallies can provide a great opportunity for late summer fun on the river! The Manistee and Muskegon rivers offer good to great fishing for smallies. Top water action is a norm late season, and these fish fight great on fly gear and ultra light gear.
