River Conditions

The weather for fishing is peaking since Fall is on the way. It was very Beautiful as you can see the fog just over the river as it got daylight. Fish were swimming up river and it was very peaceful.

The Fishing was best in the early morning as the fish were not spooked and were moving up river freely. I have fished at night before and done very well but I always enjoy the view during the morning and daytime.

Even if you are not a big fisherman or fisherwoman, you will love the beauty of the Manistee river and surrounding area. These photos were taken at on Bear Creek.

Rain this week will trigger a big response from the fish and if you can get to the river you will not be disappointed.

Fish are beginning to work the gravel and the river is alive with the splashing sounds of 15 - 20 + pound fish moving across the shallow gravel.
