Half Day of Guided Fishing (Carp): One of the hot fisheries on Grand Traverse Bay is carp, and Streamside has the guides to help you find them. Each Spring, these enormous fish come up onto the shallow flats to spawn, feed on crayfish, and chase flies! We sight-fish these monsters wading for 4 hours.
