Brad guided my father, girlfriend and I on a salmon trip today and as every trip I have had it was great. Brad is great with people and very knowledgeable about the river as well as the fish he is fishing. I will continue to book with Brad for salmon and steelhead. Brad thank you for a day filled with memories and fellowship. You are a great guide and a great person!!

We hire a guide a few times a year and this was our best trip. We caught brown trout and big steelhead with Brad on the Manistee River. Dead of winter is a great time to book. The captain worked so hard in an 8 hour snowstorm, with temps around 8 degrees. Very comfortable in the heated enclosure on quick breaks from fishing. Brad knows these waters like the back of his hand, and put us right on top of the fish at every spot. Very polite, accommodating & professional. Thank you for hosting us on... Meer

Brad was an excellent captain. Caught our steelhead limit in the first hour and a half. Catch and release after that. We were a little too late for salmon but Brad gave it a good try. I chose this charter because of the previous ratings that I read. He lived up to the accolades. I will be back before the end of the year.

Brad is an easy going, friendly guy who is very patient teaching people how to fish for steelhead and salmon (which we never fished for before). He has a great boat and nice tackle. The weather was very hot (90+) but he kept trying different places to locate the fish. If you are going to fish the Manistee River, Brad knows the spots.

Brad was kind, courteous, and an excellent guide out on the river. I never caught steelhead before and he was able to teach us how to land these brutes in no time with some float fishing. His boat setup is great and we were comfortable the entire trip. Just make sure to dress warm like you would for ice fishing. If you want a great time trying out something that isn’t ice fishing this winter book a time with Brad while you can. I know I’ll be booking him again!
