Pere Marquette Fishing Report Open Trout and Steelhead Dates Tommy - December Openings::: 3,4,6-10 Nov 16th, 2011
Jim all the way from Tennessee manages his first fish ever on the fly... He Shoots.... He Scores.... Well, I will say I haven't seen them this high, this strong in likely 5 years or so; and if we keep this up, we could tickle the shadow of '99. We are seeing numbers of fish TOP TO BOTTOM in the creeks on Michigan's west side. Grand is having an epic year, as is every other tail water including the MO and MANI. Smaller rivers including the Little are showing numbers of fish we haven't seen in some time and the steelhead run looks to keep in check with the size of the salmon run this year. Egg patterns just GET 'ER DONE, and if you are fishing higher, running some nymphs isn't out of the question; but if you are looking to broaden that spectrum of possibility with CHROME, try swinging.... It Looks Cool And It Feels Even Better!! November is primarily spoken for, though Ed McCoy is a PM master too and can also take you down.... December though has plenty of openings and this year looks to yield good number of fish till spring... We were so due for a good one!! Water temps will drop a bit over the next month or so, but the amounts of fish within the watersheds should enhance the overall bite even when the battle slips a little. Fishing pressure still finds a way on the weekends, during the week though you can find plenty of solitude. Upper, middle, and lower sections are all reporting good amounts of steelhead with clearing and dropping water conditions making for a little more savvy fish. Water temps should hold somewhat this week, but sooner or later we are gonna get a really nasty front since we are due. Deer are moving allot right now with the rut in full affect, but the steelhead will move all winter long as conditions continue to reinforce an already good number of fish within our watershed; all of which will stay all winter so us guides have something to do when the weather turns. Fish are bigger and meaner and we have battled and lost many fish we have never even seen... I look forward to settling that score this winter when that fire is dowsed with some 36 degree water... COME GET SOME!! T Jamie Matus, A Chrome Crusader, managed to get away for what he described as "AS GOOD AS IT GETS" fishing...
