Fishtown sounds smelly, right? Well it's not! Fishtown is beautiful, laid back and full of historic beauty. Stroll along the docks, shop a little, charter a fishing trip, take a ferry to the Manitou Islands, fill your belly, and beach it...all in one small town on Lake Michigan. Fishtown is up in Leland MI near the Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, you'll find this small, quaint town full of boutiques, restaurants, art galleries and recreational heaven!
Leland is an unincorporated community in the U.S. state of Michigan. It was the county seat of Leelanau County[1] from 1883 to 2008, when a new government center was completed in Suttons Bay Township, closer to the county's geographic center.
Leland is located in Leland Township, which provides local government services. It is on M-22 at the mouth of the Leland River (also known as the Carp River) on Lake Michigan.
Leland is the departure point for ferry service to both North and South Manitou Islands. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is nearby and Traverse City is about 25 miles to the southeast.

Fishtown Needs Your Help
Fishtown is a Historical District in Leland, Michigan, comprised of a collection of weathered fishing shanties, smokehouses, overhanging docks, commercial fishing tugs and charter boats along the Leland River, as it flows into Lake Michigan. Fishtown is one of the only working waterfronts left on the Great Lakes, where visitors and locals are able to experience an authentic connection to local and regional history, Great Lakes commercial fishing, and maritime traditions. Today the shanties are filled with unique shops, and an active fishery. Fishtown Preservation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, owns Fishtown — maintaining and preserving the historical integrity of the property and ensuring that it continues to be publicly accessible now and for future generations with the support of the community and donors.
Fishtown Preservation has spent the last four years preparing to improve Fishtown’s infrastructure, including rehabilitating three shanties — the Village Cheese Shanty, Carlson’s Fishery and the Morris Shanty. The situation is now urgent due to high water damage. In the last two years, high Lake Michigan water levels and greater flow over the Leland Dam have created additional structural issues. The Fishtown docks need to be entirely replaced. The shanty foundations require more extensive foundation work than originally planned. Construction and materials costs continue to increase.

Private charters ranging from 2 hours to a full day!
The classic yacht Scout will whisk you away on a luxurious private cruise for up to 6 guests. Sail the spectacular waters of Grand Traverse Bay for a couple of hours or take the whole day and head over the horizon. Perhaps you’d like to drop anchor and explore Power Island. Scout is yours while you’re aboard. We cater this adventure to your wishes. Make the most of it!
Cruise the Bay
Scout’s sailing tours may be scheduled for 2 or more hours, to a maximum of 9 hours. We can accommodate up to 6 guests in a private group charter. We want you to think of the vessel as your personal yacht during the time you’re aboard. Our USCG licensed captain is ready to tailor the cruising experience to your particular preferences.
Our standard 2 hour sail will encompass lower West Grand Traverse Bay, while a full day cruise can potentially go as far as Suttons Bay or Omena. Are you looking for a memorable family adventure? Be a castaway for a day with our Power Island Package! This gem of Grand Traverse Bay is located six miles north of Traverse City, and is part of the Grand Traverse County Parks system. The island is uninhabited (except for the park ranger) and offers great hiking, beach combing, swimming, sunbathing, picnicking, and general relaxation. We will sail up the bay, drop anchor, and ferry you to the island for 2-3 hours of fun! We wrap up the day with a cruise back to “civilization.”
While aboard, you may participate as much, or as little, as you like. Sit back and relax or jump right in and help pilot this magnificent vessel. Take the wheel, set sails, and crank winches; we’re happy to teach you about sailing! Don’t forget to pack your bathing suits! If the weather is appropriate we have the option of stopping for a swim call!
During our cruise you’ll enjoy complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. In addition you’re welcome to bring your own alcoholic drinks aboard and stock them in our fridge. Feel free to pack a meal for the trip.
About Scout
“From the moment we met Captain Brett at the dock, to the moment we returned, it was an amazing experience.”
Scout is a classic Cabo Rico 38 XL. Built in 1988 on a mountain site in Costa Rica, this lively cutter combines vintage design lines with modern construction technology. From her graceful clipper bow and wood deck trim to a stunning symphony of honey-IMG_1048colored teak (all sustainably plantation grown) below decks she will take your breath away. Brainchild of legendary naval architect W. I. B. Crealock, this vessel has won a reputation for soft motion and stout offshore performance. Scout is licensed and inspected by the state of Michigan to carry passengers.
Whether you prefer sipping a drink under the shade of the cockpit Bimini top, lounging below, or stretching out to sunbathe on deck, there is plenty of room for your group. Scout is well stocked with complimentary snacks, fruit and non-alcoholic beverages. We even have Moomers Ice Cream in the freezer! There is also plenty of refrigerator room to store any alcoholic beverages you would like to bring aboard.

I Found the BEST SPOT!! Incredible Pike Fishing
Floating an unfamiliar river for some super aggressive pike. I searched around for a while, and then found one of the best pike holes I've fished in a while!
Fly rod: 9' 8wt Orvis Clearwater rod (4 piece)
Reel: Waterworks‑Lamson Liquid Fly Reel 3.5
Line: 8wt scientific anglers fly line, 20lb tapered flouro leader with a 20lb RIO wire tippet.
Rod/reel setup:
-Quantum Octane 6'6 medium heavy action rod with an Abu Garcia silver max and 30lb braided line, connected to a 27lb 9 steel leader.
***The rod and reel I was using is a cheap setup, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. I only use it at the river in case something happens, I'd rather break that than an expensive rod/reel.

Prepare With The Ranch -
Leah and I are two humans who no longer support the inhuman, oligarchic empire model destroying our planet and our true nature as human beings. As activists we decided to do something about it, so we opted out of our former lives to begin anew. We are currently transforming pristine alpine wilderness into a self-sustaining homestead and organic farm in preparation for the upcoming collapse. We plan on developing and executing every single step of the process in open source format for the benefit of all humanity. With our backgrounds in academia and the sciences (climatology, geology, physics, biology, chemistry, and more) we hope to uncover the lies perpetrated by the mass media. It will be presented here and on our website in a systematic and thorough process. As you can imagine, this is a multifaceted, lifelong project, and we are so passionately excited to take the next steps towards self sufficiency and our dream! Won't you join us?
