Northern Michigan Fly Fishing Report

Early July Fly Fishing Report

The current heat wave leaves no doubt that July is here and limits our fishing opportunities. As water temperatures increase the trout become vulnerable to the stress of fishing and therefore we are limiting our fishing to the early and late hours of the day for their sake and ours. The nocturnal hex hatch is […]

Late June Fly Fishing Report

With summer Solstice occurring this past week it’s the time of year trout anglers stay out late and well after the sun goes down.  The nocturnal Hex Hatch is off to a start on just about all local rivers in Northwest Michigan: The Au Sable, Boardman, Manistee, Pine, Platte, PM – it’s that time of […]

Mid June Fly Fishing Report

As we hit the mid-point of June it’s time to hit the trout rivers with a head-lamp for those late evening emergences and spinner falls. With the hot weather/temperatures forecast the big hex bugs should get going pretty soon. Until then, be armed with Isonychias, Brown Drakes, Stones – medium brown, golden and little yellow […]

Early June Fly Fishing Report

Fishing the Traverse City region in early June offers plenty of choices. Most fly fishers are going after trout since this time of year offers some technical dry fly fishing. Rivers like the Manistee, Boardman and Au Sable continue to produce a smorgasbord of flies on the water including: Gray Drakes, Great and Little Mahoganies, […]

Late May Fly Fishing Report

This weather has us thinking its more like late June than May with the warm temperatures. Water levels on local rivers are ideal – perhaps a little low – with little recent rain. Water temps are in the low 60’s and the bright days have been making the trout fishing a little tougher than we […]

Mid-May Fly Fishing Report

Mother nature seems to have caught up with the times after some warm and bright days. Leaves, blossoms, green grass and insect hatches on the river seem to be in synch with the calendar. Trout fishing on the local rivers continues to be ideal for those armed to fish subsurface with streamers until the surface […]

Early May FIy Fishing Report

If feels like we skipped spring and went right to summer as temperatures approach 80 degrees.  Nature is catching up with the season as the fields on the way to the river have turned from brown to green and foliage is starting to become omnipresent in the woods. So is the fishing. Trout fishing is […]

May Fishing Report

May is here and so is some weather to make up for such a cold April. Opening day of trout season took place over the weekend and greeted anglers with slightly high river levels and water temps lower than normal. It appears a few warm days are making a difference to get the mercury to […]

Late April Fly Fishing Report

Boy what a difference a week makes. While last week had us thinking we were stuck in winter, the past few days have us thinking spring. Sunny skies and warmer temperatures has the water warming up just a bit after all that run-off from the snow increased water levels but kept the temp near 40 […]

Mid-April Fishing Report

It’s hard to believe that it’s the middle of April when looking at the snow, freezing rain and ice. Old man winter is being a little ornery and just won’t leave and allow what we expect weather wise this time of year. Late last week – before the winter storm –  brought some expected April […]

Early April Steelhead Fishing Report

Since the last report we have had some cold weather – especially low overnight temps – keeping the water temperature right around 40 degrees. While some snow fell, most of it is still on the ground so the water/river levels have not increased leaving us with unusually clear water conditions on the Manistee and Betsie […]

Spring Steelhead Fishing Report

Steelhead fishing had been pretty solid for the past couple of weeks but with the increased pressure and lack of significant rainfall/runoff to bring up new fish, the numbers of fish in the rivers like the Betsie and Manistee are less than what we would expect for this time of year and the ones in […]
