I was in the area with my family for a short stay and decided to do some last minute research into local guides. I found Casey and gave him a call. Although I never actually met or fished with him he offered me a pair of his hip waders and told me of a few local places to catch fish. I took my son for his first Michigan trout fishing adventure. He hooked a really nice brown. Casey was extremely kind, generous, and helpful to us. I can only imagine he would treat a paying client superbly as well. Thanks Casey

Grateful guide service(Casey) has offered me more opportunities at giant brown trout than I could ever have imagined. Casey is extremely knowledgeable on all the waters he fishes and knows right where the big ones sit. I wouldn’t be the angler I am today without the skills and techniques I’ve learned directly from fishing with grateful guide service. Wanna catch a giant wild brown trout at night in the most pristine waterways Michigan has to offer? This is your guy. Seriously can’t say enough good things about fishing with casey.
