Current Report
With the recent rain and
subsequent melt off of the
snow pack the water in the
Pere Marquette and Manistee
has been running very high
and off colored. The high
water has brought a fresh
push of fish flying up the
river. With water temps at
42 degrees major spawning
activity should be taking
place soon. The hold over,
winter fish appear to have
started spawning.
Look for fish on or near
historic spawning areas. The
best flies recently have
been larger more visible
meals. Peacock Buggers,
stoneflies and caddis have
all had their days recently.
Yesterday afternoon
chartreuse and Oregon cheese
puff balls produced.
The next couple of weeks
will be the best of the
spring season. With rain
coming today look for the
water to rise again and
bring in a fresh run of
steelhead.
Trout fishing is also
starting to pick up, as
steelhead eggs and salmon
fry are on the diet.
Interested in doing a early
season streamer trip let us
know.
