Must be the company
Day two with Don Vroon had the fish gods smiling a little more than in the past few days. Perhaps, it was the company of his 16 year old son Jake that brought an ever so slight smile from the gods. Weekend traffic was pretty...

The Abel Crew
Don Vroon along with his guests Drew and Mike joined me for a comfortable day on the Manistee. Fishing was much of the same as we journeyed back to the upper stretches near Tippy Dam. There are a few more fish in upper river and...

New scenery was in-order today as my guests Dan Holtrop and his friend Patrick from Chicagoland area joined me on the Manistee River. We ventured up-stream today only to find the pockets of fish just as spread out as those in the lower river. Fish...
