Manistee River Below Tippy Fishing Report

---

July 26th, 2010

Had the chance to fish with Tom Bie from the Drake magazine today. We went out and fished for smallmouth this afternoon, because as Tom put it. "Show me something different, we don't have good smallmouth fishing in Colorado". So we fished the lower Manistee throwing big baitfish patterns for our migratory smallmouth. With the hot weather this is shaping up as a good summer for the smallmouth. As it seems bigger than average fish are around this year. Chartreuse was key today in the baitfish patterns we were throwing. Water for sure has some color to it with the 3" of rain that fell late last week, but bright flies brought fish to hand.
