I love being part of that moment—the excitement, the smiles, and the memories—and helping make it happen.

 

Whether it's a child's first fish, a family vacation, or someone finally landing the walleye they've always wanted, those moments are why I guide.

​

I've spent more than 30 years fishing the lakes around Traverse City and Northern Michigan.

​

Today, the most rewarding part of guiding isn't catching fish myself—

it's watching someone else catch theirs.
