Steelhead fishing on the Pere Marquette River is coming to a close. I want to thank everyone who joined me this Spring. It’s always great seeing all of you and spending a day or two on the river with you. Overall, the Steelhead season was good, even though numbers were down. Spring sprung early with warmer weather in February and March, and a bulk of the run came and went fast. Colder weather towards the end of March and into April was actually a blessing which did slow the fish spawning cycle down. Now it’s time to switch gears and rig up the trout rods! It’s hard to believe the opener is a week away. The river is low right now and has a little stain to it. We did see some rain last week, but not a lot. Smaller streamers on the sink-tips will be productive on the cloudy days. Cloudier days might give some opportunity to fish dry flies with the Blue Winged Olives around. Little Black Stoneflies are still coming off the water on warmer days with a few trout looking up. Good luck and once again thanks to everyone for a great Spring Steelhead Season. Tight Lines !!!
