Here are 60,000 reasons why to fish Manistee. The state of Michigan plants salmon all around the state. However our Manistee County Sport Fishing Association has planted our very own salmon for many years. This is a picture of our little salmon smolts going into our holding pens. We care for these fish until they have acclimated with our Manistee River water. These pens with automatic feeders are our (MCSFA's) investment for the future. These little salmon will spawn and die in our Manistee River 4 years from now.

Fishing on the Big Manistee continues to be good. The water is muddy but could be worse. Fish are being taken on the gravel and in the runs. Big Lake boats are starting to hit the water and everyone is anxious to get the 2008 season underway. Please call now if you are planning a charter fishing trip this year. Prime dates fill early so call soon. |

Our river guides are reporting good catches most days with a few slow days mixed in. The lower section of the Big Manistee and Manistee Lake have been producing better the past few days as more fish begin their Spring spawning run up the river. The cold weather has the fish hunkered down and holding in the slower water. Look for fishing to be excellent once we return to spring like weather. This is a great time of the year to get out and enjoy Manistee's spring steelhead run! Contact one of our River Guides today! |

Here is a report from one of our guides who fished this past Saturday. "Fishing was red hot again yesterday. We limited out again. Steelhead fishing is as good as you're ever going to see right now. There is fishing everywhere in the river. I am averaging 20-30 hook ups per trip. We also did some catching and releasing too. All hits on spawn. " Book a river trip today |

Our guides are reporting excellent action on the Big Manistee River the past few days. Spawn and plugs are both taking fish. There appears to be good numbers of fish throughout the system with good catches being report from the dam to the lake. There is no better way to beat cabin fever than to get out and enjoy a day on the river with one of our experienced river guides. Give them a call today. Look for us at the sport and fishing shows. MAC captains will be at a number of upcoming shows. Please stop by our member booths or the Manistee Convention and Visitors Bureau booth to say hello and pick up our new brochure. The Manistee Area Charterboats (MAC) is made up of nearly 40 experienced captains who are committed to making your fishing trip one that you will want to repeat. |

Our River Guides are all reporting good success on the Big Manistee. As with all fishing, some days are better than others. There are plenty of fish in the river and things will only improve as we approach spring. Speaking of spring it is not too early to book your trip on Lake Michigan. Several of our Captains will be attending shows around the state and prime dates go fast. Please call one of our Captains or River Guides today! |

The daily changing winds and weather are changing the fishery. Currently there are still many adult Kings in the lake but are somewhat scattered due to the changing water temps. Look for the harbor to be hot this weekend with more NW wind tomorrow, The lower river is already producing good catches of Kings and now is the time to book that fall river charter with our member captains. |

|
No one got out yesterday with 35 MPH winds from the South but today looks much better and the fishing should not have changed as the water temps remain very warm for this time of year. NW wind later this week should cool the water and move the fish toward the harbor but the shelf should be great for the next few days. |
