Pere Marquette Temps - 30’s Water Conditions - low & clear
   A warm snap with rain would set us up quickly for good to great fishing, bringing in a fresh
batch of new steelhead. The PM has fish around and the fishing hasn’t been too bad but new eager
steelhead would be great. Kevin Morlock
Big Manistee Temps - 35 Water Conditions - low & clear
   Good to fair fishing with good fish numbers throughout the system. Water levels are low
and clear, using stealth is key. Using floats with small eggs in washed pink or yellows with small
black stoneflies has been working well. Jamie Clous
Muskegon Temps - 33 Water Conditions - low average
   The Muskegon launch sites are icy. Winter trout fishing has been good, #16 scuds in olive or
pink and stonefly nymphs have been productive. With the low clear water, the steelhead have
been wary… small nymphs on the bottom of deep runs has been the best bet. Phil Cusey
