Mid July is here & it’s a wonderful time to be here in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Some fantastic fishing opportunities here the past few weeks for variety of species. It’s been a fairly cool summer so far, a couple heat waves but for the most part I’d say we are experiencing a pretty normal summer season. Still some good insect activity in some parts of the UP with good amounts of Hex May flies on select streams. The St Marys River has provided some good fishing opportunities for Atlantic Salmon, resident Rainbow Trout and Whitefish. Some remarkable Atlantics have been taken by our guests so far, congratulations on many personal bests!

Smallmouth Bass and Muskie fishing has also been very good. Topwater options have proven to be highly effective this summer so far. It’s been nice to be mixing up the different options of fishing across the Upper Peninsula.
