Trip Summary

It’s amazing the difference one week can make! We went from high, fast, and muddy water to low and much clearer water in a short time. The water temperature finally reached 42 degrees for the first time this season on Saturday the 12th. That seemed to really turn the fish on. Saturday we hooked a few nice ones, Sunday we were rarely bored with all the action we were getting. Spawn and plugs were both getting a lot of attention. The Manistee River is loaded with fresh fish and some that have started spawning already. More natural presentations were getting the most attention. This week should be a peak time in the spring run. This cooler spring should keep fish in the system longer. Until next time good luck and tight lines!
