Brad Petzke's Fishing Reports and Conditions

U.P Fly Fishing in "God's Country"
Rivers North is the original Fly Fishing Guide in the U.P.

Rivers North Fly Fishing Guide Service of Marquette, MI offers secluded, guided fly fishing trips throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Experience U.P. fly fishing with the only licensed and endorsed fishing guide service in Upper Michigan for Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Atlantic Salmon, Steelhead and Pacific Salmon!

Join U.S. Coast Guard licensed and insured Captain Brad Petzke of Rivers North Guide Service for a remote specialized fly fishing outing on one of the many remote and scenic rivers/lakes of Michigan's U.P.

Fly fishing in Michigan's U.P. has a strong heritage-with thousands of miles of Blue Ribbon Trout streams. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a fly fisherman's paradise! Rivers North Guide Service advocates catch/release because the future of our fishery here in the Upper Peninsula depends upon it.

FISHING REPORTS:

May 13 - Some quite warm weather has transcended the U.P. lately which has left us on the dry side, extreme wildfire danger is present in many areas. Some rain would be much appreciated at this point. Resident Trout are being taken on many different patterns at this point. Caddis, BWO’s & some March Browns are present for the fish looking up for their meals.

May 7th, 2012 at 9:07 pm Rain-this is something i seemingly forgot that existed here in the Upper Peninsula! This wet stuff falling from the sky has greeted us a bit as of lately which has been pleasant & well accepted. Fishing in the rain I have always found to be rather peaceful, it makes the forest green & surrounding environs calming. Rivers have risen some and taken on a bit of color with the precipitation-temps are in the 50’s. Resident Brook and Brown Trout are available and being taken on a variety of patterns. Some sporadic dry fly activity is available, mainly Caddis & some BWO’s. Some Steelhead are available for those that so feel inclined.

Finally some much needed rainfall blessed us & rivers received a new shot of water. Water levels are much better now than they have been, more like normal with a bit of color. Water temps are in the low 40’s most places as cold nights & seasonable daytime temps have helped. Steelhead are still available in varying numbers as well as some nice resident Trout. Some aquatic insects can be seen, primarily BWO’s at this time-some sporadic rising of Trout has been seen. The annual “Opening Day” is upon us this coming weekend here in Michigan, best of luck to everyone venturing out!
