I've had the opportunity to fish with a number of guides both in MI and in FL. Ryan Morgan of Tie-One-On Charters is one of the very best. Ryan specializes in steelhead fishing on the Kalamazoo and St Joseph Rivers in SW MI. Steelhead river fishing usually begins in November and continues all though the winter and as late as April, provided the weather stays cold. My neighbor and I chartered with Ryan yesterday. He has a unique boat for this area. It was manufactured in the Pacific NW where river fishing is a way of life. It's wide and stable and perfect for up to 4 guests. Ryan spent out first few minutes on the water explaining the equipment and his fishing methodology. We soon were in the river's current, casted and began following his suggestions. Within minutes we had a hit and landed a 7-8 lb steelhead. For our 5 hrs on the water we landed 8 (7-12 lbs) and hooked up but did not land, another 4-5. Ryan's system worked, his advice while fishing was spot on and it was an all around perfect day. I know you'll enjoy fishing with Ryan. read more
