I'm still a die hard Manistee river fisherman , gotta say for any luck at all , hit Tippy dam .
I have cought lots of fresh and winter hold-overs at Tippy during this time of the year , but you better be well prepaired for some might cold fishing fun.
Bring lots of hand ,toe and body warmers , extra gloves and some glasses to protect your eyes from the wind.
The Welston side has the stairs , you might want to think twice before giving that side a go , it's slick on the way down and one hell of a climb back up . better fishing , just real hard on the body.
The Breathren side would be better, but your out further in the water and you better know where to wade on that side.You could bobber fish it if that would help you .
