Pere Marquette River fishing report for October 10th, 2008

Water Conditions — Average water levels and clear. 

 Fishing Conditions  — The last few weeks have been excellent with lots of spawn and pre-spawn fish in the entire system.  The fishing is still very good.  We’ve heard some reports of large numbers of fish moving through the lower river… this should predict good fishing for a while yet.

Tip:  Big bold flies equal better bites for kings with less foul hooked fish, if they won’t bite than at least they’ll get out of the way.
