Michigan Fishing Report

Mark Knee reports: Fishing continues to improve for trout and smallmouth bass. We landed some nice trout on streamers as well as some dry flies last week. Most of the rivers are fishing well for trout now. The persistent stripping of large streamers has yielded some great fish.

John Gouker reports: Fishing on the Hodenpyle section of the Manistee fished well. The fish came to olive streamers whenever the cloud cover would roll in--when we had no clouds, we had no fish. We landed some mid-teen fish and turned numerous others to 20 inches.

John Gouker reports: Fishing on the Manistee has been good. Trout fishing continues to improve. When the weather warms back up, we should see our smallmouth fishery take off. Warm, stable weather should have some bugs popping for dry fly trout anglers.
