The fishing has been on fire the temps are still a little low but there are alot of fish in the river. We have caught a lot of big browns and big steelhead! There has been fresh fish rolling in daily. Now is the time to book the trip of a lifetime. The size of the fish this year is very unheard of and they are more aggressive than ever after a cold winter with very little fishing pressure. Call today for a chance at a trophy fish. Call soon our spring is filling up fast, but there are still some open dates available.  -Steve Cornetet

 Another picture of the big guy a great Pere Marquette wild steelhead.


With all the cold weather this winter its been a little tough to find open water, but when we have got out it has been incredible fishing! The fish are extremely hot this winter the cold water has not slowed them down much at all. With fish sizes as big as they have  been this year its going to be a phenomenal spring! The future forecast looks very promising with temps above freezing the fish should be very active and plentiful. There have been a ton of staging fish filling up the river daily and from here on out fishing should be awesome! So if you have a case of cabin fever give us a call today for the cure and book your trip of a lifetime! This is going to be a record  breaking spring with big fish all through the system. We still have some open spring dates and February dates as well. -Steve Cornetet

Fishing reports 1-6-14

 My Christmas steel!

Captain Mike with a nice winter hen!

My dad with a great fighting steelhead.

Christmas eve on the Pere Marquette.

A nice Muskegon river hen! 
 
 
The weather has been a little brutal lately, but the steelhead fishing has been great! This time of year look for the warm ups to produce great steelhead! With warm temps in our near future the fishing should be great. Remember when fishing this time of year to layer up and try to stay warm. Fish continue to be very large and still very hot for how cold the water is. If you are looking to catch some winter steelhead and cure the cabin fever give us a call today. -Steve Cornetet

 All the way from Hawaii, 5th grader Jack with his first steelhead!

A little steel on a teens day.
 
The river looks great! If anybody still needs that last minute gift of a lifetime, a half or full day guided trip makes for a great present! The fishing continues to be good for big fish. Rising temps have the fish more aggressive right now and the bite has been good. I have a heater provided in the boat, but make sure to bundle up! Hope everyone has a safe holidays, Merry Christmas!                -Steve Cornetet

The weather has been a little cold but the fish don't seem to mind! The fishing has been great and with the cold temperatures fishing pressure is very low to non existent. The fish seem to still be very HOT even with the drop in water temps. The size of fish continue to be the best we have seen. This is the year to chase steel, with fish consistently larger than years past. If you want a chance to catch the fish of your dreams call the lodge today. Dress warm and I will have a heater provided in the boat, If  you are not sure you can make it through a full day just do a half day. Also ask about our winter specials. I look forward to seeing some of you in my boat this winter! -Steve Cornetet
