Background
I've been targeting salmon/steelhead on the Manistee River since 2001. A lot has changed over the years with the fishery and it has been a roller coaster of a ride. Constant adapting to changing conditions and flows has kept my boat successful and on fish. I have successfully caught Salmon and Steelhead with a variety of tactics but I believe I have simplified my program with efficient user-friendly gear even novice anglers can quickly learn to use and be successful. I'm confident Central Coast Angling can put the fish of your dreams into the net for you!
