Pere Marquette Fishing ReportFeb 5th, 2010
Fishing has taken yet another up turn from an already good positioning. We aren't just getting a few hits a day here, we are seeing a steady bite from all seasons of fish in the river, and there are a bunch of them. Top to bottom I have been doing well these past couple of weeks, minus one big cold snap there, and the lower you go, the brighter they get. Water levels are not as low as they are just clear, in fact water is probably just above average considering, yet you can see quite deep in it. Eggs are running the show. Streamers for myself have been slow, though I have picked up a couple of browns; I do admit though, the Egg Bite has been strong so I have been riding that Train lately.... Fishing pressure is almost non existent except for the regular die hards... we know who we are, and I don't see any real big changes coming with the forecast in place, it looks about the same as it has been the last week which is a good thing as fishing has been pretty great... It really has been a huge year this year! It started big, ran long, has been mild temp, and rock steady fishing... Booking trips right now is a pretty good bet by comparison to the last 5 winters easy in that numbers of fish aren't going to be here... FOLKS, IT"S ON NOW!!! Bigger fish can be caught and the Bulls are colored very nicely right now,,, and I think we should get some of you folks behind them saying, "Cheese". Call Cherie at 231-228-7135 ...... T

Water is back down though a little chilly with that cool off we have had the last week or so but the better fishing weather is coming back and fish numbers are still there. We had a good rain on top of some icy snow that jacked the river up several inches but since then the uppers sections have started to drop and open back up, the lower river will follow suit in just a couple more days. Fishing pressure remains high probably because the last couple years was such a wash. Overall the fishing is still good considering the conditions and though I had to cancel Friday's trip due to the cold, John from Hartland and myself went out for a half day run the following day and hooked steelhead and browns in the flowing slush, though all we landed was a decent brown. Up and coming weather looks really good starting in just a couple days with the return of above freezing temps. We are still running our Winter Special, a $225 Half Day, but as soon as that weather gets better I would get up here quick because February and March this year are gonna be some great months to fish this Spring, especially if you consider the smaller army that shows up on April Fools Day!! Call Cherie at 231-228-7135 and let you get you locked in for some quality fishing in 2010.............T
