Hope everyone is doing well and enjoyed the weekend.  Pere Marquette River is on the rise we finally received some water in the river over the weekend.

Hope everyone is doing well and had a great Thanksgiving with their family and friends.  Hard to believe that December is here that’s until walk outside in the morning.

It’s very

The warmer weather however, is forcing the fish to spawn quickly and they are fading fast in the system. Some rain in the forecast this week will be nice. Water is low and clear. Some additional rain should push in another fresh batch of

Last week Wednesday marked the first day of Fall and it even felt like it on the banks of the Pere Marquette River.  We did see quite a bit of rain last week and much cooler weather.   The river managed to come a bit and more Kings worked their way into the river.   Salmon fishing is still good.
