After three months of construction, the U.P. FlyAngler is
proud to announce that it is open for business. The opening date was delayed by
a wet summer with nearly daily rain. The rain made for great fishing and has
set the rivers up for what should be a fantastic fall opportunity for those
wanting to get away from it all and fish with the Ottawa National Forest’s only
licensed fishing outfitter.
Completion of the project means that owner and guide Randy
Berndt will be hosting clients for some of the best trout fishing the Midwest
has to offer. The pristine rivers of the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan
offer anglers a chance to get away from crowds and drift flies past fish which
rarely see them and attack them with reckless abandon.
The U.P. FlyAngler hosted its first guest last week when (a
different) Randy made the long trip up from Indianapolis to Trout Creek,
Michigan. Over the course of three and one-half days, he was rewarded for his
journey by catching dozens of feisty brook trout and some large browns,
including the nineteen inch trophy pictured to the left. During his visit, we also came across a fresh wolf kill being picked clean by a pair of bald eagles. All in all, it was an awesome few days.
Daily guiding is offered as are all-inclusive packages which
include guiding, lodging and meals. Please visit https://upflyangler.com/ for more
