Finally…..with the tiny crack in old man winters armor, we were able to hit the rivers for a few days earlier this week. Although the fishing wasn’t stellar…we did work hard and found a few fish willing to play each trip. There defiantly seems to be a “bite” period each day that has the fish turned on…the fishing can go from hot…to not…or vice versa very quickly. Low water and even lower water temps have the fish a bit moody. Presentation seems to be a huge part of the key, lighter leaders, very controlled floats and covering water will get bites. I also noticed that in some spots you had to pound the run in order to get bit….not many first drift bites the last few trips.

Best set ups have been float fishing with beads, spawn and small nymphs….hopefully this weeks coming thaw will get the water levels and temp back to normal. Until then be ready to work hard for your shot at Michigan’s steelhead.

 

Still some days left open, call soon before its too late.
