Spring Ice Breaker - April 5th & 6th

Mike Schultz (known as “Schultzy” to most) is the Owner of Schultz Outfitters Fly Shop & Guide Service specializing in Southeastern Michigan angling, instruction, and destination travel.

Born and raised in the Great State of Michigan, Schultzy has enjoyed the outdoors his entire life. During his early teenage years he developed an interest in fly-fishing.  The majority of his free time quickly became consumed with fishing and tying.  After graduating from Eastern Michigan University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Business Administration, he started guiding and working in the fly-fishing industry full-time.  

Logging 200+ days a year on the water, Schultzy has developed a vast knowledge of Midwestern waters and beyond.  The bulk of his guiding and angling takes place on his home waters of Southeastern Michigan; The Huron, Flint, Shiawassee, Raisin & Kalamazoo Rivers offer world class warm-water fishing.  Over the years, Schultzy has spent his fall and winter seasons guiding Steelhead on the world famous Pere Marquette River as well as the Ohio tributaries that make up Steelhead Alley.  His angling travels have taken him from Alaska to Patagonia and many places in between.

Schultzy has been a member of the Simms Fishing Products Ambassador Program since its inception, and is a member of the Scientific Anglers and Hatch Reels National Pro Staff.  His signature fly patterns are available through the ORVIS Company.

He currently resides in Dexter, Michigan on the banks of The Huron River with his wife, Allie and son, Tanner.
