GRATEFUL GUIDE SERVICE

ABOUT ME

Since 2016 I have been a guide in the state of Michigan, focusing exclusively on brown trout and nothing else! I have a passion for night fishing. I love to get people out there for their first time and experience what the river has to offer at night. And I'm not talking about just hex fishing... I'm talking about searching the river with a big rat for the largest most predacious fish in the whole system. Mousing with a big rat can be a lot like streamer fishing in the fact that you may only have a few encounters in the whole night but the ones that you will have will be quality.
