Charter Overview
On Point Guide Service, a family-owned business based in southern Michigan, offers exceptional fly fishing trips. Their specialty lies in teaching anglers of all types and promoting catch-and-release practices.
Their experienced guide, Ben, is dedicated to spending as much time on the water as possible. During the mid-September to October period, he exclusively organizes salmon trips in the abundant rivers. From late October until the first week of May, Ben focuses on targeting salmon, steelhead, and throughout the summer months, his attention shifts to smallmouth bass and brown trout.
The breathtaking St. Joseph River, known for its migratory salmon, steelhead, and lake-run brown trout, serves as a preferred fishing location. Meanwhile, a 4-mile stretch of the Dowagiac River provides an idyllic setting teeming with life and exciting angling opportunities.
On Point Guide Service particularly enjoys fishing with two-handed rods and emphasizes the swing technique for steelhead. Ben offers personalized instruction to enhance your fishing skills and help you grow as an angler. He provides top-quality equipment including rods, reels, tackle, and flies from reputable brands like Reel Lines, OPST, Redington, and others. Please remember to bring your own waders and a valid fishing license, which can be obtained prior to your trip.
For your fishing experience, you will be accompanied by a knowledgeable and accommodating guide aboard a 14’ Stealthcraft drift boat. This boat comfortably accommodates up to 2 anglers and is equipped with essential amenities including a GPS system and a cooler with ice for your refreshments and snacks.
