Upper Manistee River Trout Fishing ReportSept 1st, 2010
Had the chance to get out for the first time this summer with Ed McCoy and Russ Maddin for a couple hours of big trout hunting. With the moon phase about right we had great chances at some dandy trout, with Russ bringing the only big boy to the net. Water levels are on the rise so the next couple nights will be a wash for mousing, but with good temps and big boys on the feed the next couple weeks will give you one more great chance at a night time feeder. Also look for streamer fishing to start picking up during the day time hours as with less bugs around browns are looking to put on the feed bag before fall gets here. Feel free to call us 231.228.7135 or use the web for our open dates. Tight Lines, JR

Late summer trout fishing is strong, as there is pretty much limited food options for trout right now. So any well placed fly is bringing trout out and investigating. From colorful brookies to some nice brown trout, the last week has been fairly good for the dry fly bite. Any attractor is bringing fish to the top. My personal fav has been the fly above. As Richard asked me yesterday "What is this fly?", and I said "food". With select area's still pouring out trico's, and a couple Iyso's still around the aquatic insect menu is limited. So go attractor! Honestly the hardest part for most anglers is setting the hook to early and too hard as the big boyz come to eat their fly. With such low clear water you can see the eat coming. You have to hold your ground, and say " god save the queen" before you set. Look for the dry fly fishing to remain strong over the next couple weeks. Tight Lines, JR
