Manistee River Report – Below Tippy Dam
Manistee Fishing Report Below Tippy Dam – 10.19.24
The Manistee below Tippy is still running very low and clear. Despite the low water, there are a good number of steelhead around. Fish are starting to spread out a bit more as we are starting to lose salmon, but the most productive areas have still been in close proximity to spawning gravel.
Eggs have been far and away the top producer per usual this time of year. Brighter colors on cloudy days and early in the morning and duller colors in the sunny afternoons have been a good way to go. Buggers have also been getting a little bit of attention and they are a great option during heavy leaf drop days.
We have some availability left this month and November is shaping up to be solid this year. Give the office a call at 231-228-7135 to get out!
