Professional guided fishing trips on the scenic rivers of Northern Michigan specializing in Steelhead, Salmon, and Trout. We fish 8 different rivers from Grand Rapids to Traverse City, our favorites are the Pere Marquette, Big Manistee, and Au Sable. There are 3 boats in our fleet, an 18' Jet Boat, 14' Drift Boat, and 13' Raft. We have all the tools to take you to the best fishing in Michigan and keep you comfortable in the process!
Guests have a choice of using convientional rods or fly fishing gear. Lake Michigan consistently produces the highest quality Steelhead in the Great Lakes, making them fantastic trophy fish for anglers to target. An average Steelhead weighs in at 8-10lbs with a real chance of hooking one upwards of 15lbs. Rods, reels, tackle, and a grilled shore lunch will be provided by the guide.
Catching a Steelhead is well-earned and comes with proper coaching and practice, which is what makes landing one of these magnificent fish so rewarding.
Whether you are an experienced angler or have never fished before, Vandenberg Guide Service is devoted to teaching all guests the necessary skills and ensuring they have a successful day on the water.

Carlton WhitmoreRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFirst time fly fishing!
Half Day Trip on July 16, 2023 • 1 adultI've always wanted to try fly fishing, but never had the opportunity. Luke gave me the basics and some practice. Within 20 minutes I caught my first brown trout. Winding down the river with just oars and the river flow, it was very relaxing. Thank you Luke for an amazing trip!
