Trout Fishing:

1/2 day (4 hours) Stream Fishing $150.00 Morning or Afternoon.
Our local streams hold native Brook Trout. Depending on your fishing style I will tailor my trips to what you want to catch. We also have streams with planted Brown Trout and hold over's, as well as, smolts of lake run fish in streams not known to hold Browns. Rainbow trout can be targeted as well, but these are the smolts of steelhead and will require a good amount of walking to reach.

You will need to bring fishing gear; either spinning or fly gear, which ever you prefer to fish with. I use both depending on the situation. Waders, vest and other gear are your responsibility. info@getawaybay.net is a great way to reach me for more details. You can also call 906-842-3423.

Duck Hunting :
1/2 day (6 hours) Morning Hunts Only. $150.00 up to 3 Hunters.

Each time of the season offers something different in the Western UP. The first two weeks of the season offer puddle duck hunting and can range from beaver ponds, flooded timber, wild rice rivers and lakes. Hunting conditions vary widely and anything from walk-in hunting to canoes to boat hunting with a blind are used.


Birds traditionally taken during this time of year, in order of frequency, are Mallards, Wood Ducks, Ringnecks, Teal, Redhead, Widgeon, Pintail, Black Ducks, and a few Gadwall.

I live to duck hunt. It's what I think about 365 days a year. I scout every day and know the birds well. Patterns follow traditional paths but do vary day to day and that's why I keep an eye on the birds.

Later in the season is when things really get going in the Western UP. Diver ducks arrive following their historic migration route, stopping to feed and rest for as long as mother nature allows before pushing them on with ice and snow. Large numbers of birds stay until freeze up and during this time of year I am in a love-hate relationship with the outdoors. I can't stand to miss a chance to pursue these birds and at the same time I crave sleep. I have to admit the birds win out and I sleep after freeze up.


Birds traditionally taken during the late season, in order of frequency, are Bufflehead, Bluebills, Redheads, Ringnecks, Black Ducks, Golden Eye, Canvasbacks and a mix of late season mallards.

You will need to bring your gun, license (small game, Michigan waterfowl, HIP endorsement, Federal Migratory Bird Hunting stamp), shells (non-toxic), waders and other warm clothing. Number 2 shells are a good choice. I can make arrangements for you to hunt without waders but please let me know in advance.

I will provide the boats, (canoes, Kayaks, 18 foot Crestliner with grass blind, and layouts). Decoys and other equipment is also provided by me.

Contact me at info@getawaybay.net or give us a call 906-842-3423 to talk about details and book a hunt.

I only guide for what I am truly passionate about. Walleye, Perch, Northern Pike, Smallmouth, Grouse, Bear, Whitetail deer are all animals I enjoy pursuing. I spend many days every year chasing them but I don't guide for them because it's not my truest of passions. I will offer any of my guests as much advice and maps as I can to get them into any of these animals at no charge.

In addition, if you are going to be duck hunting or trout fishing and just need some advice don't be afraid to ask. I offer the guide service to those that want it but freely share information for the do-it-yourself trip as well.
