Upper Manistee River Fly-Fishing Report

May 8th , 2008

manistee river fishing report

manistee river trout

Todd P. joined me for a day of streamer fishing on the Upper today. With all the fronts moving through and the sporadic showers we experienced throughout the day, our expectations were high and the fishing started out slow and heated up as the day moved along. Fishing close to structure and getting the fly deep was the ticket to get some of the bigger fish to leave their daytime haunts and give chase. Todd had several chances at some trophy trout today and capitalized his efforts with three very nice fish to make all the hard work worth the effort. Congratulations Todd, looking forward to our next trip already.

Black Caddis were very active for the majority of the day and became quite prolific in the late afternoon. Some fish were keyed in on them and dry fly opportunities were there, but we passed on that option for the meat and potatoes offering in hopes of some bigger fish. There were also some Hendrickson spinners flying above the river in the late afternoon, the emergence today was virtually nonexistent. Blue wing olives and a few Slate Wing Mahoganies made up the majority of the emerging biomass and a few fish were keying in on them as well. The dry fly and streamer fishing should continue to improve with some more stormy and warmer weather. The next few warm nights we get should provide us some great spinner falls as well. The fishing is looking up and before long summer will be here, so don’t wait too long to get out and enjoy the cooler months of the spring and some peace and quiet on the river.

Tight Lines,

Ed
