We supply almost everything you’ll need on your fly fishing trip. The following is a list of a few personal items that you’ll need to bring. Feel free to email us or call us if you have any questions.

1) Fishing license (if you need a fishing license, it can be ordered online at the Michigan DNR Site, and you can also purchase a license at local license sales location)

2) Warm clothes (fleece and wool are ideal). Even the summer nights can get cool here in Michigan!

Examples:

Warm coat

Gloves for fishing in the cold         

Hat or ball cap

Rain gear

Waders

Wading boots – (wet wade or use to get in and out of boat)

Cool shirt if fishing during warm periods

*** Optional ***

Although our trips provide most of the fishing equipment you will need, you’re welcome to bring extras or your own equipment - here are some ideas:

Polarized sunglasses (these will allow you to look into water that would otherwise be obscured by glare)

Camera (for recording that trophy catch)

Chap Stick

Sunscreen

Hand/foot warmers

Extra layers

Extra clothes for after the trip

Extra snacks/drinks (we’ll provide the meal, but you’re welcome to bring whatever you’d like)
