Winter is with us now here in Michigan’s UP, some big snows have many areas buried for this time of the season. Still some nice fish are available for those that are interested in getting out on the river.

Winter is slowly approaching here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula as November days grow colder.  Water temps are ranging from the mid 30’s to lower 40’s and water levels have substantially dropped. Steelhead, Coho and Lake Run Brown Trout are available in fair numbers.  Arctic cold predicted for the beginning of this next week, a bit early for this type of weather. Some nice fish lately, thank you to all of our guests!

Lots of rain & wind lately across the yooperland, but that’s pretty much normal for this time of the fishing season!  Some fantastic opportunities for the fisherman right now, many different species are available.  Rivers are currently on the rise again from the past couple days of rain, this should bring in more Steelhead. Congrats to our recent guests on some remarkable fish, nice work!

Autumn is upon us here in the Upper Peninsula, some areas have beautiful colors already.  Unseasonably warm weather this past week has slowed the colors from turning and water temps are a bit warmer than normal. A variety of species are currently available ranging from Smallmouth, Salmon, resident Trout as well as Musky/Pike. Congrats to our recent guests, a wonderful time to visit the UP!

Absolutely the best weather of the year lately here In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula! A variety of unique fishing has been available ranging from Atlantic Salmon, Brook Trout to Smallmouth Bass. Something for everyone right now to choose from that’s for sure. Water temps have warmed up and many streams were getting low but some nice rains fell and more on the way. Congrats to our guests on some spectacular fish recently!

Mid-Summer is here across the Upper Peninsula, my favorite time to call this place home. Some absolutely beautiful weather has blessed us lately which has been very enjoyable.  The Hex hatch has brought some days of good emergence which has been neat to watch as always.  Peak summer also brings a heavy emergence of people on the river, which is not as pleasant… Regardless of the heavier fishing pressure, our guests have had some fantastic days. Congrats to everyone on some world class fish, thank you!

Summer is well underway here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a wonderful time of the year to visit with many opportunities for the angler.  We have been under a bit of a drought for much of our region, but some nice rains fell over the holiday.  On the St Mary’s river fishing has been behind of schedule due to much colder water temps than normal. Regardless, our guests have come through with some fantastic fish. Inland Brook and Brown Trout fishing has also been good, consistent hatches have brought up some great fish.

Brook and Brown Trout Fishing across the UP has provided some great moments recently.  A fun variety of fishing has been available with great water conditions.  Caddis, Sulpurs, & some Brown Drakes  have been bringing some nice fish to the surface. Mosquitoes are out in force in most areas, be prepared! Congrats & thank you to our recent guests, we greatly appreciate you fishing with us!

It’s really been a fantastic spring here in the UP for Steelhead fishing.  A variety of water conditions this spring has really spread out the opportunities for this fishing. Never have we had low or warm water which has kept our Steelhead conditions ideal.  Now water temps are warming and dry fly fishing for resident trout has started. Some Caddis have had some fish rising, high water levels have lowered opportunities on some streams but spring fed rivers are in better shape.  Congrats to our guests this spring, some spectacular fish!

Many streams are holding their water longer than normal this season due to the heavy snowpack we had in addition to rainfall.  Steelhead fishing has been fair to good, as wide range of dropbacks to new arrivals are available. Resident Brook and Brown Trout have been becoming more active with the warming water temps. Congrats to our recent guests on some fantastic fish!
