Our destination is the Pere Marquette River in western Michigan. And our guest is Chris Raines, Senior guide, Pere Marquette Lodge, Baldwin, Michigan. Known for heavy Chinook, Coho, and Steelhead runs, the PM is also an incredible trout stream. Plentiful runs, riffles, and deep pools, along with easy wading and access make the PM an angler’s dream. Chris gives us the low down of the PM from top to bottom and teaches the fundamentals of how to win the epic battle of man versus fish. Bonus: stories of the guiding life – riding a dirt bike, waders on, and not living in a van down by the river!
