Welcome to Bar-Lyn Charters- fishing on the St.Joseph river for steelhead trout -walleye - small mouth and salmon

walleye

- The St. Joseph River in Michigan, is world renown for its steelhead trout. Many areas along the river are wide with fast moving currents - these fast moving currents are perfect conditions for these sky-rocketing top quality beauties.

- At Bar-Lyn, we want you to enjoy the exciting fishing experience for these acrobatic beauties, whether this is your first time out, or you are an avid steelhead angler, we encourage and teach you through "hands on participation" increasing your fishing success.

- Although we target steelhead, our chinook salmon generally start their spawning run into the river from Lake Michigan in September, often times we hook into these monsters as part of our overall catch.

- Walleye fishing on St. Joseph river is truely outstanding. Walleye are a native species to the St. Joe river. Our walleye have excellent color, are robust and good fighters and are the reason why the St. Joseph river system is fast becoming one of Michigan's best producing walleye areas in the state.

- Fishing for walleye is "hands on" , we either drift with the current or "back-troll" depending on the river conditions.

- Although we target walleye, small mouth bass , which are fun to catch on light tackle, and catfish, are caught occasionally as part of our mixed summer bag.

Bar-Lyn runs custom fishing charters ranging from one person up to six. Our pricing depends on the length of time, season and type of fishing outing. Please call us at 616-463-3390 for prices.

We launch at two sites, Benton Township Park and Shamrock Park, the map, left, shows the locations. Please call us for exact directions.

We furnish all tackle and clean and bag your catch. You will need a valid Michigan fishing license with a trout stamp. We have many area tackle stores and 24 hour gas stations where you can purchase your license, however, we suggest you plan ahead. Please be sure to bring a cooler for your fish, warm clothing, something to eat and drink. And most important a camera to take pictures of your catch!
