Kings are on the move. The recent winds and rains have brought a decent number of kings (and at least this Coho picture above) up the Big Manistee. I have reports that fish are present from the mouth to Tippy Dam. Today we mover fish on Chartreuse and White. This Coho killed a Chartreuse and White Fraggle Rock (tying instructions here) The fish that came to the fly were almost all in medium depth woody areas.
The numbers should continue to increase over the next few days. I look for the next ten days to be the best time to pursue kings on streamers on the Manistee River. Call Cherie for open dates/guides and get in on this exciting fishing.
