Where to Fish
Michigan offers the angler some of the best freshwater fishing opportunity in the country. At Werkman Outfitters, we take advantage of the opportunities throughout the year that the Grand River, the Muskegon River, the White River and ice fishing on Hamlin Lake offer.
NOTE: Ice fishing not offered for the 20/21 season.
