Fletcher’s Floodwaters, or Fletcher’s Pond, is a one-in-a-million fishing experience you’ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in Michigan.

Stumps from a forgotten forest lurk just under the surface, making fishing here plentiful and unique. There are also a number of Osprey nests on the flooding making for some excellent raptor watching. Lodging is available on the pond including Fletcher’s Landing and Jack’s Landing Resort.
