Trip Information
Steelhead -- October to May
The weather conditions play a major factor in our Steelhead
migration but fishable numbers of Steelhead usually start showing up in October.
Good numbers of fish are spread throughout the river systems by November.
The big and nasty Little Manistee strain of Steelhead start showing up in late
November and early December. In February, March & April you will find peak
numbers of Steelhead.
Bass -- May thru August
Smallies start to make an appearance in May. Big, hungry
fish from Lake Erie spread throughout the rivers and make an awesome fight on a
5 weight. This is also a great way to scout rivers for the next Steelhead
season!
Tactics
Fly Fishing is the preferred method but we are not scared to pick
up the spinning gear. Conditions will occasionally dictate which style
will catch more fish that day. First time Fly Fishers are welcome, we have
VERY patient guides who will iron out any kinks in your cast. Catching
fish is important but we also want to make you a better fisherman.
Throwing surface flies or streamers will capture the mighty “Bronze” back.
Indicator fishing or swinging streamers are the methods to the madness of Fly
Fishing for “Steel”. All trips are walk in and wading the rivers.
Equipment
All tackle is provided. Rods and Reels are premium Sage, G-Loomis, Abel & Ross. Flies are included, break off all you want, we’ll
tie more! The only gear you need is a pair of waders, rain gear (if
necessary) and a fishing license.
