Upper Manistee River Fishing Report

went fishing in the mist on the 26th, what a vibe! it was peaceful and i managed to land a couple of 15 inch brookies. used a small black nymph and they were biting! sometimes the mist makes for the best fishing trips.

man was it chilly and overcast on the 22nd! still hooked one nice 18 inch rainbow, so i won’t complain too much. but the wind was crazy! got blown around a bit, had to keep adjusting my cast. hope for some sun next time!

wow heavy rains today! still went out with some friends, but it was tough. only caught a few small ones. i tried a new bait but it wasn't working out. back to my usuals for next time, fingers crossed! lets hope for better weather.

ugh what a cloudy day it was on the river. only managed to catch one little trout, it was kinda disappointing. had my favorite yellow spinner but they just weren't interested. maybe conditions just weren't right, we'll see for next time.

so we went out on the 15th, had some patchy rain but we didn't let that stop us. landed a nice 20 inch brown trout on a fire tiger rapala. wasn’t expecting much but wow, it was a great day! the fish were biting all afternoon.
