Manistee River Fishing Report: Salmon are just now entering the river is good order. The lower sections near Insta-Launch and Matson's Campground are beginning to produce some really nice fish. Cooler northeast winds have been the key to more salmon. Cooler night and and rainfall have also helped the bite. Some Skamania Steelhead (Summer-Run Steelhead) have also been landed along with Fall Steelhead and Coho. Best baits have been floats and spawn. Casting crankbaits or Thundersticks have also worked well.
Pere Marquette River Report: The lower sections of the Pere Marquette River are also fishing well for early Chinook Salmon. Indian Bridge, Custer, Scottville, and Iris Rd are all producing some nice fish. Ludington Charter boats are also doing well in Pere Marquette Lake. Stinger spoons producing the most fish. There should be very good numbers of both Salmon and Steelhead in the Pere Marquette River through September-October.
