Matt Zudweg aka: “Zuddy” is a USCG Captain and has been guiding on the Muskegon River since 2003.

Matt is most passionate about “the take” and therefore often chooses techniques that capitalize on the take best, like fishing poppers for smallmouth bass and swung flies for steelhead and trout. Matt may be best known in the industry for his bass fly, the “Zudbubbler”, a modern version of the vintage Gerbubble Bug.

When not on the water, he can usually be found in his studio creating artful balsa poppers or drawing up new designs for decals and apparel through his company Boneyard Fly Gear.

With 20+ years of guiding under his belt, Matt still loves guiding/teaching and will work hard to see that you have an enjoyable day on the water.
