Hi Guys sorry about the temporary out of order on the bandwidth of the computer of the website......................I guess to many people visiting that is good

We really need some rain to bring in another fresh push of fish............But with the cold nights we have fish trickling in on a steady in the lower river making the instinct bite a go for those who want to do it..........

Most of the fish are starting to gravel up on the upper part of the river with more fish in holes in the lower....................

I still think we are one good rain away from the peak of the run,,,,,,,,

We have a few good guide dates coming up from cancellations...................Don't be afraid to call and ask......


Sounds like the fall steelhead fishing has been really good one of our guides Blair Shaw went 3-6 on steel on the Big Man yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,,Looks like we will have a really good Fall for the chrome,,,,,

Salmon are shooting up in the lower rivers in good numbers. Its been a late start, but with all the rain we have been getting they are finally starting a major push. The PM and Big Manistee both have good numbers in the lower waters and they have been pounding stickbaits and bright streamers. Deep water nymping in those deep holes where the fish rest after a long push has proven to work during bright sunny days. We have been finding that neutral colored egg patterns and dark nymphs have been working best. The salmon are starting to gravel up so our bait piles for our steelhead are starting to get going,,,,get ready,,,,,,with this weather we should be ready for a really good fall steelhead run,,,,get in for your October dates they are going fast.................

See ya on the river soon

Hi guys fishing stays steady,,,,,,,,,,yesterday we got a few on big fly's and sink tip,,,,,it's hard to put the ease of a spinning rod down sometimes,,,,,,if your looking for the aggressive fish moving in,,,,sometimes in droves give us a buzz,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the water is close to normal again and in my opinion we could use another little drink of rain which it sounds thats what coming in............We have had some issues this year with breaking rods must be the fresh fish moving in.............We have a few open guide dates.........
