Action on the big lake has been good for boats trolling the shoreline with planer boards. Catches have included decent numbers of browns, lake trout (out of season until May 1st) with a few Kings mixed in. The weather has been warm and brown fishing is expected to improve as the skinny water along shore heats up. Best lures have been body baits such as Rapalas with some action coming on spoons.
Outdoor Life has included Manistee on their list of "Top 200 Towns for Anglers and Hunters". (more)
