Fishing

On Lakes, Streams, And Rivers Up North

Fly Fishing

They call them the holy waters. They tend to be quiet places, just you, the sound of the water, and the hiss of your line flying through the air. They bring big fish, but more than that, they bring peace. A sense of connection with something bigger. If you want to find the holy waters on your Traverse City fly fishing trip, your best bet is to start with expert advice with one of the fly shops or fly fishing guides in the area.
