Meet the Guides

Northern Rivers Outfitters has 5+ Federal Permits for our guides to access premier fishing waters not accessible without these permits. All our guides are federally and state licensed and insured as well as the majority of our guides having their US Coast Guards Captains Licensing. If there is specific guide you would like to fish with please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Kameron Zemites (Owner)

Captain Kameron Zemites (Owner) has been guiding since 2013. Since he started his guiding career he spent May- early September guiding in King Salmon, Alaska, and then guided on the northern rivers in Michigan the remainder of the year. Now that he is starting NRO, he will most likely stay home in MI to guide here and support the business year round. Kameron also is one of the guides for Oak Heart Lodge, a Fishing with Veterans program. He is planning to stay active with the Fishing with Veterans program!

Leo Cook

Leo started fishing the Pere Marquette when he was 8 years old. He has built up a tremendous bucket of knowledge on how to target the varying Michigan species across these rivers.

Justin Atkinson

Justin is one of our Muskegon River Guides. He is fortunate enough to actually live directly on the river and keeps an eagle eye for us on on how the fishing is trending. Justin also guides in King Salmon, Alaska with Kameron at Naknek River Camp. Make sure to ask him about ferret hunting!
