True North Outpost is proud to partner with our friends at Hookin U.P. Flyfitters to offer this great one of a kind full day guided fly fishing float trip on the Menominee River. During this awesome trip you will be pursuing multiple fish species, including trophy smallmouth bass, northern pike, muskellunge, and walleye.

You and your friendly and knowledgeable guide Nathan will load up in a 17' high sided fiberglass drift boat with casting braces and padded seats bow and stern that comfortably allow you to stand and cast with ease or sit back and take in the beautiful scenery. The trip includes a hot shore lunch where we can stretch our legs with a little casting from shore. After lunch we'll get back into the boat and fish the rest of the float ending up back at your vehicle.

The beauty of the drift boat trip is the ability to cover a great amount of water while continuously casting and fishing in comfort. New to fly fishing or wanting to get started? Don’t worry, casting instruction can be provided. Getting new people into the sport is Nathan’s passion. Not into fishing? That's just fine, you could go for a sight seeing or bird watching trip.

Trip Description

Start your trip at the outpost where you will check in and meet your guide. From there you will load up in your vehicle and follow Nathan to the river he has chosen for you to ensure the best fishing at that time of the year. Once there you will unload your gear and climb into the waiting boat for a great day of fishing on the beautiful streams in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

When it is time for lunch you will pull over to the side of the river and get the chance to stretch your legs and do a little shore casting while Nathan cooks a hot lunch for you right there on the bank of the river. After a leisurely lunch and a little more fishing it’s back into the boat for the float out…and you guessed it, more fishing!

After you dock the boat you are free to head back to the outpost for more adventures or a souvenir from your trip. Otherwise you are free to go with the memories of a great day on the river.

NOT INTERESTED IN FISHING?

Hooking U.P. Flyfitters offers bird watching and scenic float trips too! The same trip itinerary applies but this time you will be working with Nathan to choose the best river for the best views during that time of the year. Nathan is not only a fishing expert he also has a knack for choosing the most beautiful views that you will be able to find on the rivers in the U.P.
