Northern Michigan

Get ready to explore some of Northern Michigan’s most breathtaking waters and upland bird hunting grounds, where the adventure never stops. Whether you're casting your line or chasing after upland birds, you’ll be guided through pristine rivers, streams, and hidden hunting spots, each offering its own unique charm.

For fly fishing, you’ll enjoy tranquil waters nestled deep in the heart of the region, surrounded by lush forests and crystal-clear streams—perfect for a relaxing yet thrilling day on the water. And when it’s time for hunting, your guide will lead you through prime grouse and woodcock habitat, where dense cover and beautiful landscapes await.

While we’ll keep the exact spots a secret (because who doesn’t love a little mystery?), rest assured that these areas are known for their abundant wildlife, serene surroundings, and the kind of peacefulness you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you're fishing or hunting, Northern Michigan provides the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable day of adventure.
