SECTIONS OF THE RIVER The Pere Marquette Loop makes for a nice short trip. It starts at Old US-31 in Ludington and circles near the State Road Bridge. From there to Scottville Riverside Park, the river becomes wider with no landings, making for a long trip. Custer Park and Indian Bridge are two landing spots within the section between Scottville and Walhalla, where the river is wide and deep. Starting in Walhalla, there are three major sections: Walhalla to the Upper Branch Bridge; Upper Branch to Bowman’s Bridge and Bowman’s Bridge to the M-37 Bridge in Baldwin. Species in the Pere Marquette River vary in the different sections of river. The "flies" water is loaded with resident trout ranging from 8" to 12". The Mid Section from Gleason's to Walhalla has a good mix of bigger Trout, Steelhead, and Salmon. The lower section, Walhalla to Scottville has the famed "Hex Hatch" and is home to early "Kings" in late August. The number of Chinook salmon the PM receives in late August and September is truly amazing, with salmon reaching 30 pounds!! Hatches on the Pere Marquette River are prolific
and offer some great Trout fishing in May, June, July and August.
The most noted are the Sulfurs, Hexigenia, Gray Drake, and several
types of Caddis. It is also one of the best "hopper and dropper"
rivers in July and August, where giant trout smash terrestrials
against the bank. The Pere Marquette River also offers some great
streamer fly fishing for trophy Brown Trout in June. Click here to contact us for more information about guided fishing trips, rates and availability on the Muskegon, White and Pere Marquette Rivers!

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.
