Charles and I jumped several trees and ended up landing one steelhead on his inagural run in his boat. The rainy mix brought the river up a touch and brought a few new chrome in the lower river. Come up and give winter steelheading a try, 1/2 day's are fine this time of year..Pick the warmest day of the week and you can expect fish

,,,,If someone wants to catch the little manistee for it's last majesty give me a call,,,Bruce landed a giant on his new spey rod christmas present, in the lower river....

See ya on the creek,

Great buck by good friend Mr. Jeffery Whalen what a monster IL buck.

Went with my wife to western ny and enjoyed the great steelhead factory they have there, cousin-inlaw, and good friend Eric lands his first steel on the fly.

A little rain has helped the stain in the water up this way and the fish moved out of the wood for a day or two. The colder weather has softened up the bite but a good solid day can be had with small stuff and light fluro. Streamer fishing still seems to be rocking on the river to our north,,,,I am heading out to see if that is still true.....See ya on the river

We have got a little rain not enough to change things,,,,,,,There are fish in all the rivers,,light tippet and small patterns is key,,,,,,,We have a few openings next week.....Moving fast and getting the players to eat seems to be key.......Streamer fishing has been solid,,,,,,,,The tug from a steel on heavy tippet and a big fly is a bunch of fun you have to love the instict bite.......
