Manistee River Report – Below Tippy Dam

The Manistee is currently running pretty low and clear at a bit above 1580 cfs. We could use some rain, but it does not look like any is in the forecast for a bit. There are good numbers of salmon around with fresh fish in runs and pools.

Fish just started getting on gravel earlier this week, and a fair number are staging in pockets behind spawning gravel. Top flies this week have been rag eggs, crystal eggs, buggers, and antron bugs.
