Fishing Manistee Michigan

 Looking for something fun to do around Manistee? Look no further! The greater Manistee area holds some of the best fishing in the state of Michigan. The stretch of Lake Michigan coast along Manistee sees some of the best fish migrations in the entire state. It’s where the world record brown trout roamed before it was caught just below Tippy Dam in ‘09. Every fall and spring, this pristine stretch of Lake Michigan sees some of the best numbers of king salmon, coho salmon, steelhead, and brown trout as they make their way to the Manistee River. Troll for king salmon in the summer, or steelhead in the fall and spring. In early summer, the lake trout move up shallow, presenting opportunities to jig for them. If migratory fish are your game, Manistee is the place to be.
