Chromeseekers – Betsie River

When it’s time for a bit of relaxation in nature, Chromeseekers is here for you. Join Captain Dan on a fishing trip in the Betsie River, near Frankfort, MI. Few things are more enjoyable than a few hours in these serene waters. Leave everyday life behind and step into a new world!

Your trip takes place aboard a 15’ Stealthcraft drift boat. This stable vessel is perfect for up to 2 anglers and you’ll have your captain’s undivided attention. Since you won’t have to travel far for a great fishing spot, there’s no need for electronics or strong engines.

Salmon starts entering the river in mid to late August and ends around mid-October. On the Betsie where the captain fishes, the peak season is usually between Sep 7 and Oct 7. On his spots the Big Man, it’s best between Sep 25 and Oct 10. Fishing is not always based on the calendar and runs can happen anytime between August and October. If the fishing is poor on the river you chose, the captain will make suggestions to fish the other river.

Steelhead starts up the rivers in October and lasts until May. The peak times are from mid-October to November as well as March and April.

Weekends and overflow trips will be ran by coguides of Chromeseekers Sportfishing. Everyguide is put through training to offer CS clients great experiences. Therefor we can accomandate more trips.

Capt. Dan will fully cover your fishing equipment and even bring a lunch of burgers or Bratwurst sausages to keep you going if you book an 8-hour trip. You’ll need to purchase a fishing license in advance and bring any drinks you’d like to enjoy.

**Due to increase in cancellations once your trip is booked you will owe the remainder of the $100 deposit to Chromeseekers Sportfishing. Thisnis refundable ifnwe have to cancel due to weather. Cost of the trip will be the same as what fishbooker charges not including gratuity. Thank you

    Do you enjoy the peace and quiet of the river with little to no pressure around? This might be the trip for you if you can bear the cold weather and the snow. Although this is not "peak" Steelheading time, with the little pressure and conditions, the fish usually wants to bite. This is one of the captain's favorite times to hit the water on his own. Trips also take place during the warmest part of the day. No worries, if the weather is downright cold, the captain will cancel the trip if it makes sense.

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Captain Dan Stewart has been fishing for as long as he can remember. From SE Michigan to NW Michigan, we have a boat for everything. As a result, he knows all the hiding spots for favorites including Steelhead, Chinook, Coho Salmon and walleye throughout the state of Michigan. He'll easily accommodate both experienced anglers and novices and looks forward to giving his guests a welcome escape to nature. You will have such a great time with Captain Dan that you will be booking other trips the rest of the year around the great state of Michigan. My season starts in the Nw for Steelhead. In Mid April I move to the Detroit River for walleye. In May I move to the St Clair river for walleye. When Lake St Clair heats up I move over there. Around Mid June I end the walleye fishing and move back to the Nw chasing a variety of fish. We fish crystal lake and all other inland lakes near by. We are also fishing Lake Michigan for Salmon and Trout. We follow the salmon up river then back to steelhe
