From the looks outside the window it’s pretty safe to say that winter is now here in the U.P.. A high temp of 13 degrees makes it a bit brutal for fishing, warmer days are forecasted for the future.  Our higher water conditions still exist, this fall/early winter has seen the highest sustained water levels in quite some time.  Some good opportunities exist for some excellent fish, large Steelhead as well as trophy Brown Trout are available. Congrats also to all the buck slayers of the northwoods this deer season :)

The deer hunting holiday is upon us here in the U.P. & some nice weather is here to relax in the forest or on the river.  Lots of higher than normal water levels are present across the region, rains & snows have kept levels up for the most part over the past few weeks.  Water temps are getting cold and some areas have had skim ice already, which is rather early. Some very nice Steelhead are present as well as trophy class lake run Brown Trout.
