Rain has brought some color to the river, and has brought a couple fish out of the wood. Reports are good through out the river. With temps warmer than they should be for this time of year, things are moving quickly. With water coming up, fresh fish are moving in and winter/fall fish are moving very close to the dam. Look for fish to really be pushing the upper sections as this is the time.

Tight Lines,

JR

Manistee River Steelhead

Fishing on the Big Man remains consistent, but also challenging with the clear water and sunny skies. Bo from Little Fork Outfitters in Midland and his guest Chris (pictured above) joined me today for some steelhead fishing. We worked hard for our fish and managed to get a couple of beauties to hand for a quick grip and grin. Smaller flies and light tippets are still the name of the game right now. Some Rain is forecasted this week and should help the water conditions as a lot of our snow has melted. Things are looking good for the upcoming spring and we are ready to go!

Tight Lines,

Ed

Manistee River Steelhead

Spring is moving forward and it seems like it is moving forward faster than the past couple years, with a week straight of high pressure water temps are climbing quickly and mother nature is making other adjustments as well. Saw and heard my first Sand Hill Crane yesterday, such an amazing bird, a little loud after 15 minutes of calling but still a sign of spring and I'll take it. With a week of amazing weather fishing is getting a little tough. As fish have been picked on pretty good with increased boat traffic, look for fish to be buried in the wood.

Tight Lines,

JR

John S did a great job amidst many logs for this fish!
