Steelhead! Trout!

January 14th., 2011

Looking for used fly fishing equipment and tackle? We have rods, reels, and other goodies posted in our new Bargains section.

Steelhead Report

Manistee River below Tippy Dam

Steelhead on the Manistee are in good numbers this year and they are bigger than last season. Right now Egg patterns and Nymphs are working best. A few fish are coming to the swung fly!

Salmon Report

Coho Salmon were in very large numbers this year, the best King and Coho season in years, let's hope it continues.

Trout Report

Tiny egg patterns, nymphs and streamers are the ticket. Move your streamers slow!
