Currently here in Michigan’s U.P. there are some good opportunities for the fly fisherman-both Steelhead and resident Trout fishing has been productive.  Water temps are right on the verge of creating some good to great Trout fishing, we just need some warm sunny days to get temps up and aquatic insects active.  Steelhead ranging form drop back to fresh arrival in the river are present and some nice Trout are hanging around in the mix. Most rivers are still at a fair level with some color to them, water temps are hovering anywhere from the lower 40’s to lower 50’s.  Some dry fly fishing should be happening soon, a few Caddis and Blue Winged Olives are present.  After 6 months of feeding subsurface the Trout aren’t used to looking up top for a meal!

May-a month of many choices here in the Upper Peninsla for the fly fisherman!
