“The Pere Marquette River is an almost entirely wild or non-hatchery fishery. If you want the fishing to get better you have to release fish so that they can spawn and make new fish.”

Third Coast Fly is updated daily with area fishing reports, articles, videos and other information.
Indigo Guide Service has a weekly fishing report that covers the areas rivers, lakes and Lake Michigan.

Level – average (918 cfs and falling)
Temp – around 40
Color – colored
Fishing – steelhead good

The PM River is back to normal after a week or more of high water and cold weather.  All indications are that good numbers of new steelhead have made their way upstream and we are expecting good fishing for the upcoming week.  Egg flies and egg beads have been producing best.  The nymph bite should get going again with warmer weather predicted.  We’re still getting a few steelhead on streamers.

A great Pere Marquette River steelhead from last week.
