In this episode we WadeOutThere with Brad Petzke from Saint Joseph, Michigan.  Brad learned to fish from his father, targeting warm water species in the lakes and rivers around him and catching steelhead off the pier.  

As part of a college ski program, Brad took an internship in Colorado, driving snowcats at night, skiing during the day, and fishing for trout every chance he got.  After three years, Brad moved back to Michigan where he continued to pursue a career in fishing.  

He is a guide and owner of Rivers North Guide Service that takes advantage of Michigan’s diverse fishery in the Upper Peninsula.  

We discuss fall steelhead tactics and techniques as well as some of the lessons learned that Brad has found heading south for the winter to fish in Florida.
