Current Report
Fishing on the Manistee
River continues to be
strong. Water levels are
about perfect 1600-1800 cfs,
water temps somewhere
between 34-36 degrees. Most
fish have gone into there
winter lies, less fish
movement the past couple
days. Dark and Deep is the
name of the game for the
holding water, to combat
that you need to fish SLOW.
Multiple casts working that
bubble line inside and out.
Try looking for those slower
lies very close to
structure. On days when
temps climb above freezing
throw a float or Indicator
and bring your flies above
the structure that these
steelhead are using to slow
down the current for them.
Your player fish will be in
the middle of the water
column anyway.
Buggers in black and olive,
big bushy hex's and don't
forget about fry patterns
the next month or so. King
salmon fry will be popping
soon. Tight Lines and
continue to check the
website as update reports
will continue to come.
