SUMMARY:Women on the Water: 2026 Steelhead Version
DESCRIPTION:Hey ladies\, looking for more fishy friends? Join us for our annual Women on the Water weekend getaway! Schrems West Michigan Trout Unlimited proudly presents this women’s only fishing weekend at Barothy Lodge in Walhalla. \n\n\n\nBarothy Lodge is a beautiful 300-acre property along the banks of one of Michigan’s most prized blue-ribbon trout streams – the Pere Marquette River. Our retreat will be based in Elkhorn Lodge and Eagles Nest Lodge\, but we will have access to the entire property\, which includes seven miles of river access and hiking trails. \n\n\n\nThe focus of this weekend is on steelhead and camaraderie! All experience levels are welcome. We will have a conservation presentation\, fly tying\, snacks\, and a cash bar during the day on Saturday at Ludington Bay Brewing Co with an opportunity for rest and relaxation in the evening. Did we mention the lodge has a hot tub? \n\n\n\nOur full-day guided float trips will start early Sunday morning with our targets being steelhead — large\, lake-run rainbow trout that are headed upstream\, often eating eggs from salmon that have recently spawned. Steelhead will also be eating nymphs and streamers this time of year. You will get the opportunity to fly fish using floating lines and indicators\, centerpin fishing\, or two-handed spey fishing! \n\n\n\nTake it slow the next morning – check out is Monday by 1 p.m. \n\n\n\nDate: Saturday\, November 7\, 2026 – Monday\, November 9\, 2026Location: Barothy Lodge\, Walhalla\, Mich.Cost: $575 per person for a double room\, $625 per person for a single room\, includes two nights’ lodging\, one guided float trip\, and mealsGroup size is limited to the first 11 registrants. \n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact Schrems West Michigan Trout Unlimited Chapter Vice President Paige Werner at wernerp2@gmail.com with questions or to be added to our email list for future women’s programming.
