Privacy Statement

Reel Waters LLC provides a unique environment for our site guests to learn about the wonderful waters of northern Michigan and fly fishing. We provide pages to share your photos, videos, and opinions with other interested in our rivers, inland lakes, and the Great Lakes as well as providing guiding services and products that may be purchased. More than anything else these days, we want to keep your information private and safe.
However, this does not guarantee safety, nor does it guarantee the actual identities claimed by our guests.

Furthermore, our site does not assume any obligations, liability, or responsibilities associated with such behavior.
