Utter disappointment 😥😥😥

Beautiful water, beautiful surroundings, lots of big fish, yeah, you are living the dream.

[@GuideRecommended]

I'm always looking for folks to go with me!! 😎🐟

@@GuideRecommended I am too old, too crippled up, and too far away. The best I can do is watch you live the dream. Thanks for the offer, and best of luck to you.

[@dalehall4187]

that looks like fun, wow.

I've got to get some of them in a net.....oh I forgot my net. 😂😂🐟

Beautiful river and always a great place to spend time fishing. Just got back Saturday and my luck was similar..... low, clear water with fish spread out and spooky. Hooked several, landed none. I switch to my 5WT one evening and went after they trout below the salmon. I caught two very nice Brown Trout just as the sun dropped behind the trees. Take Care

[@GuideRecommended]

A good call switching to the 5wt. I saw so many browns in the dark water behind the gravel. The PM is a special place. 🐟🎣

Nice video bud, I've always wanted to fly fish. Just got back a couple weeks ago from salmon fishing. I'm down state

[@GuideRecommended]

Sorry about the delay getting back with you. Salmon fishing on a small river like the PM is a hoot. You get to fight the fish, current and all the woody debris. Tight lines 🐟

Tight lines - 🐟🐟😎🎣

Nice!!! Looks like your doing fantastic hooking up with big black streamers in their faces. Nicely done, nicely done! Missed the Pere Marquette this year, I won't miss it next early Fall. Ill have to look you up next Sept. I need to rent a kayak next year. I usually wade it, gets quite limited.

[@GuideRecommended]

There are a couple places in town that rent kayaks. The PM is so beautiful, getting a Salmon on the line is a bonus. Tight lines 🐟🐟😎

[@almoschetti5503]

Great video David and thanks for sharing. I always wanted to go to the PM but never had anyone to go with me. Dont know how I missed your invite but I would of tried to go along. Sorry but looks like you had a good time. Enjoyed your hook ups. Well maybe next year look me up. Tight lines and continue what you do I enjoyed it. Thanks.

Hey you are in my neck of the woods!

[@GuideRecommended]

I love fishing on the PM, you've got to get on the river! The salmon are just starting to move in! 🐟

[@HelgraMike]

@@GuideRecommended oh I'm on it. 😆

[@alanannestrober4193]

Looks like snagging.

[@GuideRecommended]

I need to get one in the net.

[@mikecrook8650]

Great video are you buy indian bridge?

[@GuideRecommended]

Hi Mike, I'm not sure if it is called the Indian bridge, but it is the RR bridge over the river.

[@christopherzatalokin8652]

Let me know when you're in the Muskegon area and I am there.

[@GuideRecommended]

Thanks for the invite 🐟🐟

[@john-q5m2e]

nice water. how can I find out how to get on the river to catch one of those big salmon.

[@GuideRecommended]

I talk about the details in my Fishy Friday newsletter. Heck I invite folks to come along with me!

[@tj-fk4vw]

Too bad I was subscribed to your website. I would have gone with you. I just joined your website so I do not miss any future invites.

[@GuideRecommended]

Thanks for signing up to the newsletters. I also share pictures of readers memorable catches. Catch you later 🐟🐟

How do you like your NuCanoe Frontier 12 kayak? I've been considering purchasing a 12' version of a NuCanoe w/casting stability bar or another brand of kayak. Also, what are your thoughts about having a kayak powered by pedals and line management? I live in SW Florida and saw Joe Mahler, a SW Florida Fly Fishing legend, fishing from a NuCanoe Frontier 12 kayak w/casting stability bar on KZbin. Keep the great videos coming! Thank you, David!

[@GuideRecommended]

The Frontier 12 has been bulletproof for me. Very seldom do I cast from it through. I'm mostly in shallow rivers so I pull over and wade to fishing spots. I do paddle about 70% of the time standing in order to look for fish. I like fishing in some of the less popular small rivers so this canoe is perfect.

[@gronthomson]

@@GuideRecommended, thank you, DAVID!

What on earth?? Is the tippet breaking? 10 pounds is really thin for salmon... Better luck next time

[@GuideRecommended]

I should have a 15 pound tippet. I knew better, but this was a prove out trip for more fishing in the next few weeks. Thanks 👍
