Just got some good feedback about John Kluesing, who is a top steelhead guide on Michigan's famous Pere Marquette River.
John is also part of Solitude Reels and an instructor of fly fishing for L L Bean.

The PM is an incredible fishery. You can catch browns and rainbows all year and steelhead in the Fall/Winter & Spring as well as the king salmon in the fall.
John Kluessing would be a great choice. If you've never given MI a try, the PM is one of the top places to start. I've seen this river in many peoples top ten fly fishing locations in the world. If you want more info on the river, there is a fantastic forum (almost as good as Bill's ;) ) for this fishery at www.fishbaldwin.com
The spring run is starting there soon. Give it a shot and good luck if you go! Give us a report if you do.
Thanks BR.......might have to put that on my "Bucket List"?Quote:

Very gracious of him... I'll never say a bad thing about him. John Kestner is another awesome guide for those rivers.
It is an awesome River to fish. I haven't seen anything like it in California.Quote:

I would definitely check it out sooner than later if you're curious about Midwest rivers at all. There is a section dedicated just to fly fishing as well.
