Manistee River Report – Below Tippy Dam

Manistee Fishing Report Below Tippy Dam – 10.11.24

The Manistee below Tippy is currently running very low and clear and we once again really need some rain. Most salmon are past their prime and are getting up on spawning gravel. The good news is that, despite the low water, there are a fair number of steelhead starting to make their appearance.  There are definitely some solid fish in the mix as well!

Eggs have been far and away the top producer as would be expected for this time of year. With the clear water, smaller orange and peach eggs have been getting the job done. Most fish are tucked right behind the spawning salmon, but we have been picking up travelers in sandy moving water as well. It looks like we should get a shot of rain this weekend which should give us another push of fish.

We still have dates left in October and November!  Give the office a call at 231-228-7135 to get out and chase these amazing fish!
