Manistee River Below Tippy Fishing Report


July 1st, 2009

Manistee River Below Tippy

Rick B. with a 20" brown from below Tippy, 6/29

Trout fishing below Tippy remains strong, there is a strong minnow bite right now. But smaller flies than you think. As small fry from sucker and steelhead start to pop from the spring gravels. Both smallmouth and trout are gorging on minnows. Also throw crayfish patterns to rock piles as crayfish are molting and are a easy meal as well. A simple crayfish pattern that I've thrown since my Argentina adventure a couple years ago will work fine fo both trout and smallmouth. Just fish it close to the bottom and let the conehead work to your advantage.

Tight Lines,

Manistee River at Tippy DamDan C enjoying a warm summer day catching trout, 6/22

Trout fishing below tippy is still very good for the time of year, a mixture of sizes can be had. Also working on different techniques can be achieved, swinging wet fly's, streamer fishing, dry fly fishing, and nymph fishing can all be worked developed. There are not too many body's water in Michigan that hold the concentration of trout or that gives the angler the chance to work on so many different techniques. Tippy is a great tool to have as an angler to become a better overall fisherman.

Tight Lines,
