Pere Marquette River Water Conditions – bit high, stained
>>> We finally got some needed rain and the trout fishing has been good. There was lots of bug activity when the weather was warm but the last week has been cold, wet and windy. Lots of baby fish around, alevin and fry patterns have been producing. Kevin Morlock
USGS Real-Time Data for the Pere Marquette River at Scottville, Michigan
Big Manistee River Water Conditions – average and clearing
>>> The trout fishing in the upper Manistee has been good with hatches of sulphurs and other bugs on warm days. Like anywhere, switch to streamers when the weather is cooler.

Muskegon River Water Conditions – average and clearing
>>> Nice hatches on the warm days with lots of action, though the bulk of the action will be small planters. Alevin and fry patterns have produced well fished behind a larger streamer. Phil Cusey

Open Waters >>> Stripping big streamers has been hot at the river mouths for pike, walleye and you always have a shot at something big, fast and silver.
Alevin Martinez and other alevin/fry patterns have been top producers.
