Experience the Best Trout Fishing on Lake Michigan with Reelin Leland Fishing Charters

Experience the best Trout fishing in the northern hemisphere on Lake Michigan with Reelin Leland Fishing Charters. Our local experts, Captains Dylan Grant and Chris Oosee, will ensure you have an unforgettable trip.

Join us on our well-maintained 27' Tiara, the Leelanautical. Despite being manufactured in the '80s, she remains in pristine condition, a testament to her quality design. With a cuddy cabin layout, you'll have ample space to move around while chasing the bite. This boat can accommodate up to 6 anglers without any hassle of tangled lines. Powered by twin Crusader engines with 540 HP, she can reach an impressive maximum cruising speed of 45 knots.

Fishing the Great Lake Michigan is all about Trout and Salmon. With our trolling techniques, you'll have the opportunity to catch Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Steelhead, and Chinook Salmon. Our downriggers give you an advantage, allowing you to troll deeper and have more lines in the water.

Your fishing charter will provide all the necessary equipment for the trip. Please note that guests over 17 years old will need a valid Michigan fishing license. Don't forget to bring polarized sunglasses, suitable clothing, and a waterproof camera to capture your trophy catch!
