Manistee River Report – Below Tippy Dam
Manistee Fishing Report Below Tippy Dam – 11.3.24
The Manistee below Tippy continues to be very low and clear. We have gotten a bit of rain and there is some in the forecast as well. This combined with our current fish number should set up for a great late fall. Fishing continues to impress and we have had some great days the last few weeks.
Fish are throughout the river and seem to be pretty evenly spread out. Working the main seam in the runs has been the way to go. Eggs are still the most productive, with slightly larger, muted colors doing the bulk of the work. I have also had a few good days on buggers as well.
Swinging streamers has been productive as well. With the warmer water, the fish are hot and have been taking the swung fly in exceptionally violent strikes. In the clear water downsizing your fly and muting the flash has been key.
November is setting up to be a great month and we have a few openings left. Give us a shout at 231-228-7135 to get on the calendar.
