Current Report
Winter has set in, with
water temps dropping into
the upper 30's steelhead and
trout fishing will start to
slow down. It has been a
great fall on the Manistee
and Muskegon Rivers. Fall
Steelhead arrived in good
numbers and will remain in
the rivers throughout the
winter season. Updated
reports can be found at
www.hawkinsflyfishing.com
Last week both the Manistee
and Muskegon recieved a nice
push of chrome steelhead
from the rain. Leeches,
hexes, and brighter eggs
were doing well on both
rivers. Clown eggs have
been doing well all season
but bigger was better late
last week on the Muskegon.
On the Manistee, Hawkins
Outfitters has been working
on the Spey Indy Float
system to cover more of our
wood filled runs. These
slow moving pools hold good
numbers of steelhead in the
winter months. This Indy
system allows us to keep our
flies above the wood and in
the steelheads feeding
zone. Taking what we have
learned from the center-pin
guys.
