Its a little cooler than normal, that has the bug hatches off a little but not
entirely. We still have some takers. Hex hatches had been progressing very
well, with some awesome evening fishing.

The cooler temps also have the Small mouth feeding deeper not looking up
at the flys, but spinner fishing have been bring the fish to the net.

Scamania fishing have been good on the St joe and OK on the Manistee.


We have been fishing nymphs, Streamers, Indicators  and other tactics.
We have been landing fish with each outing.

And Yes we do have dates open.
So contact us to reserve your date today
