Thanks for the post. I will be fly fishing for the first time in Manistee. I was given a brand new set up last year and only had the chance to use it for bluegill fishing. Thanks for the tip. I had the info on Schmidt Outfitters printed out and in my "homework" packet. I planned to stop in there and get the info on the flies I should be using for this time of year. I am a Michigan native, although I have only been back for 3 years from a 10 year stay in Florida. I will be 31 next month...that is one of the reasons I am going to Manistee. I will be staying there for a week. Sat. through Sat. This is only my second year owning a boat of my own, so I have really been learning a ton these two summers.
You mentioned a 9 foot spinning rod for steelhead. My brother-in-law has one for pier fishing. I could borrow that. What would be the advantage and what is a 3 way rig?
What do you mean by a 4 or 5 weight? I have an assortment of spinning and baitcasting rods and reels. My fly rod is 9'.
What do you think of night fishing there?
