Explore the Michigan rivers with Dan Nealy's Fishing Buddies! Captain Dan is dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience for his guests, drawing on his extensive knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for the water and fishing. Whether it's teaching, coaching, or witnessing others succeed, Dan's passion shines through as he guides you to fish the magnificent waters of Michigan.

Your boat for the trip will be a comfortable Hyde Drifter, perfect for two fishermen. While you take in the scenic views or cast your line, Captain Dan will handle the oars. The boat also features two leg locks, allowing for fishing while enjoying a relaxing drift. Whether wading or fishing from the boat, this floating trip gives you the opportunity to cover a large stretch of the river and target more fish.

For those who prefer a more intimate fishing experience, Dan offers the Walk and Wade option. If wading is your preferred method of angling, Captain Dan can accommodate you. There's nothing he enjoys more than traversing the river and exploring the fisherman trails in search of big catches.

While we offer various tackle options, our preferred technique is fly fishing gear. However, we also cater to those who prefer spin gear, which is the choice of most of our clients. Rest assured, we provide top-notch gear, including flies tied by Captain Dan himself. Dan is patient and eager to teach, embracing any technique that helps us catch fish. Depending on the season, our targets may include Steelhead, Salmon, Trout, and Bass!

Additionally, Captain Dan provides a grilled lunch, water, and snacks for full-day trips (weather permitting), and snacks and water for half-day trips. Don't forget to bring your fishing license!
