From MI DNR fishing report.....
"Bear River - In Petoskey, has absolutely fantastic ice fishing for steelhead. Fish are being caught near the mouth between the pier and the docks using wigglers and small spawn bags. Limit catches are common."
Huh? I fished that EXACT area for over 2 hours without one strike. Fished flies, spawn and spinners. Did not see one fish and did not see any tracks in the snow from other anglers going down to the river either.
Where is the DNR coming up with this stuff? Do the mayors in these areas call in with wild fishing reports just to get people in their towns to spend money? I wonder .............
