Standing up for Michigan guides and their fisheries.

Working together to improve our fisheries for today & tomorrow

Representing Michigan river guides, elevating professional guiding standards, and promoting fisheries through collaborative initiatives, education, engagement, and advocacy.

Michigan is a water-wonderland. Surrounded by four of five great lakes, we have more freshwater coastline than anywhere else in the nation. With more than 11,000 lakes, 51,000 river miles and some of the most exciting species to chase in the country; Michigan’s fisheries are worth protecting.

Special Fisheries

Michigan guides are on the water every day working to understand our aquatic environments. We are the first to notice changes in habitat, water quality, and more.

Guides on the front lines
