Guided Trip on the Pere Marquette River, March 24-25, 2010 with Indigo guide Kevin Morlock

Great 2 days with you.  I got back to Tennessee this afternoon after spending Friday night at Larry’s.  Really enjoyed our time with you, the spey casting lessons and really appreciate your thoughtful present of the carp flies.

Again, thank you for your time.  It is always nice to be around people that are knowledgeable, professional and have class.

Best wishes.

A spring sunrise on the Pere Marquette River.

The electric lamprey barrier (Custer Weir) on the Pere Marquette (PM) is gone for good, click here to find out more about the weirs removal.  As many of you are aware, the weir never did a very good job at keeping enough lampreys out of the river and all but eliminated our Mach steelhead migration.  Steelhead numbers would build below the weir in March but they wouldn’t make "the jump" through the barrier until the water warmed to the low forties, usually in April.

Many guides used to work as much, or more in March as in April, with March being the time of peak steelhead numbers.  Most of the PM steelhead do not spawn and leave the river until April, with fish numbers naturally building from summer, fall, winter and early spring… reaching a peak in March.  This is almost entirely pre-spawn fishing in holes and runs, pre-spawn steelhead are great, they are silver hot rockets.

We are so excited about having our great March fishing back that we are offering a special to show everyone how great March can be.  There is also no other time that our guides would rather be on the water.

Special for any remaining March dates (two options):
– take 2 days and get the second for half price.
– or take 3 days and get the third for free. 

The Michigan River Guides Association (MRGA) will be having an open meeting Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 at the Red Anchor in Croton, Michigan, the meeting will start at 7:00pm.  The MRGA is our premier river guide organization in the state, along with protecting the rights of it’s guide members it also supports a broad range of other projects.

Kevin,

"I just wanted to say thank you for all of your efforts last week. It meant a lot to someone who had no experience (and what I now possess is from your great efforts).
 
I e-mailed Jack and told him that if he had no objection, I will be on his fall trip again next year. Of course, I will need your help getting in and out of that boat and all of the other efforts that you had to endure… If you ever get down to Atlanta, I would consider it an honor to see you and invite you and your family to my home for an overnight stay and dinner."

Jeremy is one of my favorite people to fish with… he fishes hard all day and is always happy and upbeat.  kevin

Kevin,

"Thanks for a terrific 2 days on the water…the screams you hear in the morning will be me realizing I have to go back to a JOB instead of doing what I really want to do.  Maybe we’ll see you for steelheads!"
