With more than 36,000 miles of rivers and streams— including thousands of miles of cold-water trout habitat— Michigan is one of America's premier fly-fishing destinations. Anglers can pursue an extraordinary range of species: wild brook, brown, and rainbow trout, steelhead, salmon, smallmouth bass, carp, and northern pike. Cast delicate dry flies on a spring creek, swing streamers for migratory fish, or target warmwater species on scenic rivers— Michigan delivers year-round opportunity and remarkable variety. Few places on earth combine such vast fishable water, abundant gamefish, and breathtaking natural beauty in a single destination.

Fly Fishing Guide to Michigan is your definitive companion to it all. Author Jon Osborn draws on firsthand expertise and insights from top local guides to cover 60 of the state's finest rivers— from the legendary Au Sable and Pere Marquette to remote Upper Peninsula gems— with stretch-by-stretch breakdowns, hatch timing, favorite fly patterns, and hard-won insider tips for trout, bass, and beyond. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a lifelong Michigander, this meticulously researched guide is your essential map to the real Michigan.
