About Darkblue Charters and Guide Service
If you're looking to chase world-class Steelhead (Rainbow Trout) look no further. The Big Manistee River is known worldwide as a premier fishing location for trophy fish. As recently as 2010 a world record Brown Trout, weighing in at over 41 pounds, was taken from this very stretch of water, and experts predict that more fish in that class are still waiting to be caught. Steelhead are known for its amazing fight, acrobatic ability, and natural beauty.
