Welcome new Chamber member: True North Trout Fly Fishing Guide Service

Brian Kozminski, known as "Koz" by his piscatorial pals, has been plying trout from Michigan waters for over 30 years. He is originally from Grand Rapids where the Rogue River and Grand River were his home waters, but his frequent trips to Grayling to fish the Holy Waters were not enough. Nearly a decade ago, he and his wife Lesley, daughter Simone, and two yellow labs, Roxy and Stella, made Up North a permanent way of life. Rooted in Petoskey, the Bear and Maple rivers were his primary destinations. A recent transplant to Boyne City, he now claims the Jordan and Boyne rivers as his backyard home waters. A lifetime member of Trout Unlimited and ex officio for the Miller VanWinkle Chapter, he shares his passion for the resources by teaching local children the art of fly tying. He has been tying flies since his father taught him at the age of 9. Koz has made trips to Belize to confirm the speed of Bonefish and the elusive Permit, St. Maarten to cast for Tarpon, and the endless beauty of the Rockies in Colorado fishing for Greenbacks and Cuttys. Although Steelhead and large Brown Trout at night are exciting, the true treasure of Northern Michigan lies in the orange and blue halos of the native Brook Trout from its cool rivers. To learn more about Koz and his love of all things fish, visit his blog at www.truenorthtrout.com or call 231-675-1237.
