My name is Dalton Hochstetler. Fishing is something that my family grew up doing as much as possible. As a young kid my father and grandfather would take my brother and I out on adventures seeking the solitude of a northern Michigan trout stream. Those early days have turned into my obsession. Now, I am lucky enough to live in the northern lower peninsula near Traverse City, MI where there are many different guided fishing services and opportunities to choose from.

I have a special affinity for the big ones! Steelhead and salmon in the big manistee river are my preferred species to chase. However, with the variety northern Michigan has to offer you can often find me chasing lake trout on grand traverse bay, cisco, smallmouth, and anything else that wants to put up a good fight.

This 18’x60“ Stealthcraft Stealth-Sled will keep you comfortable with plenty of room to move around while we travel and fish for our target species.
