Beautiful fall colors right now here in the UP, an absolutely wonderful time to visit.  Recent rains have our rivers running on the high side. It has been a cooler fall than normal at this point, already a few snows have greeted us. Muskies, resident Trout and Steelhead/Salmon are available. Congrats to our recent guests on some first class fish! Come visit the UP, it’s beautiful outside…

Finally feeling like autumn here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, crisp morning & colors in the forest.  The fishing that is available in the fall is so unique. Muskie to Trout or Salmon, something for everyone to enjoy. This fall’s Muskie fishing has been very rewarding, many personal bests. Congrats to our guests on some highly remarkable fish!

Fall is in the air here in the Upper Peninsula, some fun fishing opportunities are here! Heavy rains recently brought river levels up big time, but now we are back at normal flows. Currently Pike & Muskie fishing has been getting better with cooling water temps. We have had a very warm late summer & water temps have been quite high. Some salmon are available in the rivers as well, more rain coming some fishing should improve. Some fall colors are also beginning in certain areas of the UP.

Summer continues here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and a fun variety of fishing options are available. Water temps are warm everywhere, it has been one of the warmest summers I can remember here. Smallmouth Bass fishing has been outstanding, ideal conditions exist with topwater and subsurface being productive. Fishing on the St Marys river has been tough at times but rewarding

.

Summer keeps rolling on here in the UP and the warm days continue. It has definitely been one of the hottest summers on record.  Some well needed rains have blessed us recently, drought conditions were present prior to this in many areas of our region. On the St Marys River Atlantic Salmon are available, mid summer conditions exist. Inland Trout fishing has been slow on most streams other than spring fed creeks. Congrats to our guests on some downright fish on a lifetime recently!

It’s the heart of summer here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and fly fishing opportunities are available across the board.  It’s has been a hotter/dryer than normal summer so water temps are up.  On the St Marys river Atlantic Salmon fishing has been fair, higher than normal angling pressure exists so please be courteous on the river. Some nice fish are available, but warming water temps have made fishing challenging at times. Congrats to our guests on some magnificent fish!

Our warm summer continues & water temps continue to climb across the UP region.  Many areas stream temps are getting quite high to target resident trout.  Atlantic Salmon, Steelhead & resident Rainbow Trout are available on the St Marys river currently. Fishing has been variable but some high quality fish have been taken. High sun seems to be the norm this season w all the warm days.

Wow, a big time rain event has left lots of the UP a mess. Our friends in Copper Country are under a state of emergency as many roads & lots of infrastructure has been devastated. Other parts of the UP received big rains also, but minimal damage from the flooding. Previously to the rain some great Trout fishing was underway with lots of strong hatches. It is going to be quite a while till streams drop into shape, so other fishing options are available!

Sure feels like Summertime here in the UP, 80 degree days have been the norm lately.  Hot weather has the Brook & Brown Trout fishing going well. Some good bug activity has had some nice fish working for this time of the season. Still a few Steelhead around which have provided some fun days for our guests. Resent much needed rains have brought water levels up some, now they are starting to recede & drop back into nice shape.

Finally it feels like spring is upon us here in the UP! Some good Steelhead fishing opps are available across the region. Some remarkable fish have been landed by our guests lately, big congrats!  Still lots of ice out on Lake Superior which is amazing, seems like it isn’t going anywhere & could be here for quite a while. Some Stoneflies have been hatching on the warm sunny days, a few nice Trout have been sporadically rising.
