Manistee River Fishing Report for 3.26.25
The Manistee River Fishing Report for 3.26.25 has the Manistee in great shape and the fishing has been consistently good this past week. Right now the water has a beautiful green color and is flowing right around 2350 ft3/s. We just had another blast of winter with several inches of new snow so I would expect the river to rise a bit as it melts.
There are great numbers of fish around right now and they can be found in a wide variety of water types. We have found fish in slow, woody winter runs as well as faster slots. Natural orange and peach colored eggs have been the most productive this past week. With some black stones around, we have also had some action on stoneflies as well as fry patterns.
The forecast looks great and the next few weeks should provide some really solid fishing.
We have dates available. Click here to book online or give us a shout at 231-228-7135 and get on the calendar.
