We used Dan for a fishing trip on the Tittabawassee River last year. He was well organized, knowledgeable of the river, and kept it fun. Will definitely use him on our next Michigan trip.

Dan is the absolute best! Been working with him for years and refuse to go anywhere else for a fishing guide. He knows all the right baits to use the "secret" spots only the locals know of. I would give him A MILLION stars if I could!
