Late May is a great time to be in the Upper Peninsula if you like to fish. We have so many different options right now and I struggle to decide what to fish for everyday which isn't a bad problem to have.The trout fishing has really picked up now that temperatures are hanging in the 50's on most streams and the dry fly action has begun! We have a variety of bugs on the water right now,but the hatches been a little unpredictable. We are seeing olives, stones, hendricksons, caddis and even a few early brown drakes. Steelhead are still present in good numbers and many are targeting the aggressive dropbacks and doing very well so if you still have the steelhead itch there is some time left.The warmwater fishing has been pretty steady for pike, bass and musky for those hitting the lakes and rivers.A wide range of flies have been producing for me, but I have sticking to subsurface baitfish imitations on the larger side. Sucker and firetiger patterns with rattles have been the most productive.I have witnessed some awesome topwater eats though and the bite should pick up when the water warms up just a little more. Feel free to give us a call at the shop for current conditions or to book a guided trip with Pat or Nick. (906) 273-0229
