  1. Big Lake Cold Water Fishing Reports
    I have the salmon itch bad and I am thinking of going up this weekend(08/04/23). The only thing is I only have a 14ft zodiac (I just graduated college so my budget isn’t great lol). I feel more than comfortable running out about a mile max, this being said does anyone know if it would be worth...
  2. North West Michigan Streams and Rivers
    Going to be up in the Cadillac/lake city area for trout opener. All the streams I fish are not open until Saturday, and I’ll have all of Friday afternoon and evening to fish as well, so I was thinking of hitting the upper manistee. I know it’s a very deep and fast river, but I was wondering if...

    Hello everyone. My wife and I come up to salmon fish and have always wade fished. I have dabbled in some kayak fishing and never tried the Big Man. We have an 18’ mod V bass tracker with a 75hp motor. Not jet. Have been thinking about bringing it up and fishing from high bridge up and down...

    I am considering two areas to fly fish for trout this weekend on the Manistee. I will be wading. Either the M72 to CCC Bridge span or below Hodenpyl dam. I'll be camping and I know both areas have camping nearby. Below Hodenpyl looks very remote, but I don't know how easy the wading is. Any...

    Hello everyone My brother and I decided we wanted to try and switch up our Turkey hunt this year. Normally we hunt in the thumb with decent success (we are from Southeast MI) but we would really like to check out the Manistee national forest this year to switch it up. We would like to take...

    Has anyone paddled between CR-88 and Cameron Bridge this fall? We are thinking of doing the Deward stretch this weekend but old reports I've found online don't sound so great. I've fished Deward at night for fat browns but have not paddled this stretch lately. Any info? Thanks.

    I LOVE TO FISH FOR PERCH BUT IT SEEMS THE REPORTS OF THEM ARE SCATTERED AND FEW I HAVE HEARD A FEW GUYS I KNOW CATCHING THEM RECENTLY OUT OF GRAND HAVEN AND THAT THEY SHOULD STARTING BITING IN SOUTH HAVEN SOON.

  11. Cold Water Species Fishing
    Im going steelhead fishing up in manistee by the tippy dam soon. Never fished for anything besides pike, walleye, bluegill, and bass using basic poles and lures. I recently bought a pair of fishing waders, 15 pound line and a new rod made for salmon/steelhead fishing. I am a relatively new...
  12. North West Michigan Streams and Rivers
    Looking to finally get away for a few days this weekend thru Tuesday. Looking at either the Pine or Upper Manistee. I have never fished the Pine and could use some input. The pine seems to be a bit cooler than the Manistee based on the USGS data. I am mainly a fly fisherman these days...
  13. North West Michigan Streams and Rivers
    I have salmon fished up in the small creeks near a dozen times. Bear cr mostly. Once I tried tippy dam but was pretty disappointed. Looking back I thought it seemed like much better fishing from a boat. I live in northwest Ohio and plan on coming up this year and considering taking the boat. I'm...
