The river is in good shape. It has some color still and is a little warmer for this time of year. I Do see it cooling off this week with the winter like temperatures hitting the area. Steelhead and Trout fishing is consistent on Nymphs and Egg Flies. Try smaller Clown Eggs and Nukes in brighter colors and for Nymph’s bigger Stoneflies , Steelhead Bugger’s and Hex Nymphs can fish

Steelhead fishing on the Pere Marquette River is getting tough again. Low, Cold and Clear water making the bite on and off every day. We’re working for it, which isn’t all bad. It makes it that much sweeter when you feel that pull. You can find fish scattered throughout the whole river. Try smaller Nuke Egg’s in Cheese, Apricot and Golden Nugget. For Nymph’s Hex’s, Buggers and Hare’s Ears work

Nuke Egg’s and Clown Egg’s fished under an Indicator are working well.

The Pere Marquette is very low and clear. Steelhead fishing remains tough in these conditions. You can find Steelhead really scattered throughout the whole river system, just not a lot of them. Look for fishing to continue to be tough as this week’s weather is going to feel more like late Spring then fall. Presentation is a big key in these situations when pursuing these fish with fly rod and
It’s been a wet one up here on the Pere Marquette River. We have received a good amount of rain the last three days bringing the water levels up and now it’s getting dirty.

King Salmon fishing remains good on the Pere Marquette River. This by far has been one of the nicest Summers and Fall’s we have seen in a while up here. The weather has been great for any outdoor enthusiast. The fall color is at its peak up here , everything is so vibrant along the banks of the river. River came up a bit with some recent rain we had
