Manistee River Below Tippy Fishing Report


Feb. 3rd, 2012

Manistee River

Fred (top) and Dan, joined me today for yet another great winter's day of steelhead chasing. With yet again a perfect day, I'm still in shock and waiting for the big boom, but this winter has been the best for fishing weather I can remember.

Now that we are in February, the transition is slowly starting. As you can feel and hear mother nature starting to shift gears. Buds on the trees are visible, fish and birds are transitioning their diet as more bugs are crawling around. Afternoon midges hatches have been a normal occurrence all week. The first little black stone is real close.

With ice and snow taking a big melt this week, water temps have not risen as cold water runoff hit the river. But with it fish transitioned into that real slow and deep water. If your headed out look there first.
