PERE MARQUETTE RIVER FISHING REPORT:
Trout fishing on the Pere Marquette River started to get a little better this week with the warmer weather.  Water temperatures are still quite cool for this time of year making insect activity dismal. In the evenings we’re seeing a few Sulphur’s, Drakes, Stoneflies, and even a few Isos. During the day smaller streamers and buggers are working well. Like I stated in the last report, everything just seems to be a week or two out with the colder weather, water temperatures, and the pollen. The pollen is horrible up here this year with the lack of rain.  Good luck and tight lines. Thanks to everyone for another great week at the office. 😀

I am Jeff Hubbard. I grew up in West Michigan with a real love for the outdoors. After guiding in Alaska for a few years, I returned to my favorite rivers and streams, here in Michigan. Among these, the Pere Marquette River is my favorite by far. I have spent many years next to this great river in the town of Baldwin and have a great love for this great natural scenic river. I became a professional guide in 1998, and fishing still remains a real passion to me.

I’m a licensed USFS Special Use Permit holder and State of Michigan Permit holder.  This allows me to fish the whole water shed of the Pere Marquette River.  I am fully insured and CPR Certified. I run Full and Half Day Trips, Instructional, walk and wade, or float trips.

Always feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions or ideas!  Thank you for stopping by!
