Winter weather has been continuing lately with a glimpse of Spring every so often as daytime temps struggle to get above the mid 30’s.  Snow flurries have been dusting the ground nearly everyday and water temps/levels remain cold & clear for the most part.  Currently water temps range from 32-36 depending upon river.  There are Steelhead around- but with the cold & low water persistency is the key to success. We are experiencing a true U.P. Spring this year, Winter just not truly wanting to let go.  Once it does we are going to have some good Steelhead fishing.  Some very healthy & large Steelhead have been taken this year, the photo below of the male Steelhead is the largest fish I have seen in a very long time here in the U.P.!
