About Us

Jim Nienhouse

Jim has been fishing the rivers and lakes of western Michigan all his life.  He is sharing his passion for the sport and has been guiding anglers for the past five years.  In his mind there is no greater satisfaction than seeing the look on an anglers faces as he brings a fish to the boat.  Jim is committed to the preservation of our resources and serves as the Vice President of the Little Manistee Conservation Council.  He and his wife Donna, along with Abby and Jessie (their two German Shorthairs) live on the banks of the Little Manistee River.  When not guiding or fishing the Pine, PM, or Big River you will find him prowling his home waters of the Little River.
