Happy St Patrick's Day! We still have quite a bit of snow in the woods but it is going fast in town.   Fishing reports from the Big Manistee River have been sounding good.  The first part of March was hit and miss but the Spring runoff is pulling good numbers of fish into the river.   Early opener on the Little Manistee River is just around the corner.  I am looking forward to tangling with a steelhead on the Little River and visiting the camps to catch up with friends.  I have never hunted turkeys before but drew a permit for the early season and am going to give it a try this year.  I don't really expect to shoot anything but look forward to getting out in the woods.   The boat has inspection scheduled for April 26th so it will be going in earlier than usual to get ready for that.  The weekends are starting to fill so give us a call to reserve your charter fishing trip.
