Steelhead

 
   
     

Float fishing for steelhead with 12' rods is the most popular method now on the Manistee River through the winter months. Locating the steelhead in the slow moving holes is what it is all about till they move to the gravel to spawn. When the steelhead are on the gravel in April I switch methods and go to Flies. Flies are the best way to catch spawning steelhead and this is a great time for you to catch steelhead on fly rods. The best time frame is just around the corner.
