Cold Front
July 24th, 2013A change of pace with some colder air has moved into the Upper Peninsula region, it has a hint of autumn in the air the last few crisp mornings. Fishing has been fairly normal for this time for the season as water temps are about on par w historical averages. A mixed bag of species is available on the St. Marys, but water temps are beginning to climb. We have boated several spring chinook this season on the river, which is a good sign for the wild pacific salmon population. Most of our major mayfly hatches have occurred at this point across the U.P., but trout can be caught on a variety of attractor patterns as well as nymphs & streamers. Smallmouth & Pike fishing has been good as well in areas. Get out & cast a fly :)
