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!

Captain Dan knows his waters and his fish. The weather wasn’t on our side, but he still put us on plenty of catches. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and a great guide for both first-timers and experienced anglers. We’re looking forward to many more trips with him!

We got into plenty of Steelhead and also landed Brown and Rainbow Trout. The captain was great, and the whole trip was a lot of fun!

We experienced it all—peaceful scenery, fresh mist, the rhythm of casting, and the shimmer of fish in the water. Then came the battle: an acrobatic Steelhead, glowing pink and green, finally in hand. Dan is an excellent fisherman and guide, full of patience for beginners like me....

My 10-year-old and I had an amazing time on the water, catching plenty of Pike and Smallmouth Bass—exactly what we were hoping for. The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and great at teaching us how to work different lures. We’d definitely book another trip!
