Our destination is northern Michigan and the wild and Scenic Manistee River with Brian “Koz” Kozminski, owner of True North Trout.  Nestled in the Huron-Manistee National Forest, the Manistee flows over 200 miles where anglers can tangle with big Browns, epic hatches, and superb Salmon and Steelhead runs.  Koz has been fly fishing these rivers for over 30 years, but at one time, was tending bar and living on the streets until fly fishing saved him.  Now he runs his guiding business from Boyne City which is ground zero for some of the finest trout fishing in the country.  Koz gives us the rundown on the Manistee from top to bottom along with other great rivers in the area such as the Black, Pigeon, Sturgeon, Maple, the Boardman, and the Jordan.  Stick around to the end for a great story of a Brown Trout so big that Koz thought it was a Salmon.     With host, Steve Haigh  Be the first to know about new episodes.  Sign up at https://www.destinationanglerpodcast.com   Top Flies for the Manistee River: @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Facebook and Instagram Contact Koz:   https://truenorthtrout.com/ Instagram & Facebook:  @TrueNorthTrout YouTube Please check out our Sponsors: TroutRoutes - the #1 Trout Fishing app, helping you find new trout water so you spend less time on the road and more time fishing.  https://troutinsights.com/ | Facebook @troutinsights Instagram @TroutRoutes  Angler’s Coffee - elevating the coffee experience for the fly-fishing community & anglers everywhere with small-batch coffee delivered to your doorstep.  https://anglerscoffee.com/   | Facebook & Instagram @anglerscoffeeco    Destination Angler: ·       NEW WEBSITE!   https://www.destinationanglerpodcast.com ·       Get updates and pictures of destinations covered on each podcast:  @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Instagram and Facebook ·       Join in the conversation with the @DestinationAnglerConnection group on Facebook.  Comments & Suggestions:  host, Steve Haigh, email [email protected] Available on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts Recorded Feb 9, 2023.  Episode 86 Music on the show by A Brother’s Fountain, “Hitch Hike-Man”.    Podcast edited by Podcast Volume  https://www.podcastvolume.com/
