Current Report
The river level is 6.96 and
water temps are in the mid
30's. There are a few
steelies around but dont
count on much. Things aren't
going to change unless Mother
Nature allows for a winter
thaw (accompanied with
increased river levels).
Just enjoy your time in the
outdoors and use it to your
advantage- learn the water
and practice technique.
Someday it will (hopefully)
improve.
One-Week Fishing Forecast
Angling is going to be rather
slow this winter unless we
have a winter warm spell.
Water levels and water temps
must increase before we get
a "good" push of steelhead.
Two-Week Fishing Forecast
More of the same.............
Hatch Info
Surface activity is sporadic
at best. Look for tiny
midges.
Hot Fly Patterns
Fishing subsurface is always
a good bet for trout-
indicator nymphing with
smaller nymph patterns (#14-
20) . Good choices include
tan and
olive hares ear,
cream/red/blk midge, green
and tan caddis larva,
pheasant tails, and scud
patterns.
Pulling streamers can be
productive (on the MO) in the
Fall and early Winter. Big
sculpin and leech
patterns are your best bet
for both trout and steelhead.
Hex, caddis, leech, waxworm
and egg
patterns will be the call of
the day for (trout and)
steelies.
River Flows
The river level is at 6.96.
Call 231-652-1771 for
up to date water levels.
Water Temperature
Water temps are in the mid
30's.
Special Events
Ask about our winter fly
tying classes. We have
beginner and specialty
classes (616-975-3800).
