Just ask Manistee Charter Boat Captain Paul Schlafley.
“The Manistee River runs approximately 232 miles through Michigan’s northern lower peninsula. It passes through many villages before entering Lake Michigan at the city of Manistee.” As one of the most popular Manistee River Guides and a true local who grew up on the river, Captain Schlafley knows the habitats and habits for all the seasons on the Manistee.
“There are a lot of different and very large growing species of fish that thrive in these waters due to the rocky bottom and fast-moving cool water. I love to take guests on our Manistee River Charter Boats to the calm pools and other perfect habitats for catching the season’s most active fish.”
What you’ll

Species include, Wild Rose, Seeforellen brown trout, and Gilchrist Creek browns, Michigan strain Chinook, (natural reproduction), as well as migratory kings, Coho Salmon, Eagle Lake Rainbows, Skamania and the Michigan strain of Steelhead trout.
