Whew, an unbelievable hot summer here in the U.P!  Everyday seems to be in the low 80’s & lots of sun, not a normal upper peninsula summer by any means.  Water temps are higher than normal due to this nice weather, use proper precautions when fishing certain areas for all species.  Fly fishing for Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike & Muskies has been productive, some days better than others which is normal.  Atlantic Salmon on the St.Marys River has been slower, warmer water has most fish fairly lethargic.  Congrats to our guests on some fantastic fish, thank you!

Sweet summertime here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a fine place to call home or to take a vacation!  A warm summer is upon us by Yooper standards, not to normal to have so many days in the upper 80’s up here.  Water temps are high across the board, picking your days & your spots are key to a successful outing.  The St.Marys river has provided our guests with some magnificent fish this season, nice to see such ample baitfish numbers in this river system when rest of the Great Lakes are in dire straights.  Warmwater fly fishing opps are also available & some very nice fish have been active to eat at times.
