About Ted Kraimer Fishing Guide

About Your Guide, Ted Kraimer

Current Works is the fly-fishing guide service of Ted Kraimer and is operated with the idea of getting you into the most enjoyable and best fishing around. With so many species to choose from, four seasons to fish in and different watersheds, all within an hour’s drive of Traverse City, you will come to learn why Field & Stream magazine has recently named this area as one of the Top-10 best fishing towns in America.

Spend a day floating the Upper Manistee River in a drift boat casting dry flies to selective trout, bouncing nymphs for Steelhead and Salmon on the Betsie River or the Big Manistee river bellow Tippy Dam in a Jet Sled, stripping streamers & poppers for Smallmouth Bass on the Manistee, wade fishing on the Boardman river or stalking Golden Bones (carp fishing) on the flats of Grand Traverse Bay – you will understand what makes this area such a great place to fish.
