Michigan's Pere Marquette River is a world renowned fly fishing destination for anglers in search of trophy brown trout, as well as migratory salmon and steelhead. A barrier free, spring fed river, the Pere Marquette flows over 150 miles from its origin east of Baldwin, Michigan before emptying into Pere Marquette Lake which then flows into lake Michigan. The river is named after a Jesuit missionary, father Jacques Marquette, who spent the later portion of the 1600's exploring North America, specifically the shoreline of west Michigan.

The Pere Marquette is a rather small river that takes on its "switchback" appearance soon after its numerous feeder springs emerge from the ground to form the main flow of the river. As the river travels west toward the lake Michigan shoreline, it widens, picking up speed and volume along the way. It is joined by other creeks, rivers and "branches" of the main river, as it meanders west towards the town of Ludington, Michigan. Along the way, is passes through a mixture of meadows, deep swamp and rolling hills, with both coniferous and deciduous trees dotting the landscape before joining Pere Marquette Lake in Ludington, Michigan.
