Here’s to hoping the heat and humidity is behind us!!! Day-to-day salmon season kicked off for me today, and as promised on Facebook, some chrome Chinook! John Steen of New York, and his son Kevin joined me on the lower Manistee for some early September salmon action. Despite the incredibly warm river temperatures, salmon fishing is going quite well. Tonight’s cold front should only ramp it in to high gear. Sticks and streamers are the name of the game; almost lost John to his big one…really, thought he was going to get pulled over-board when the bullet smashed it six feet off the edge of the boat! Nice work guys; look forward to next year!
