Fishing Reports for Michigan's Upper Peninsula

What do you need to know?

I'm retired! I've fished the Yoop for over 35 years... even lived there for 16. Besides the beauty of it all, fishing is about all there really is. I'm talking four, unique and very exciting fishing seasons... Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.  

Each season takes on a new challenge and discoveries into new tactics, tackle & techniques.  I thoroughly love fishing the U.P.

I've guided trout fishermen who have fished all over the world- from Kamchatka, Russia to New Zealand. What do they say about fishing Michigan's Upper Peninsula?  "I would have never known such a place existed in the state of Michigan"  That says it all.

My guiding days are over, but this website continues on- since its beginning, way back in 1996.

What's my mission now? 

To help and assist anyone willing to  brave the clear water fishing experience. So, rather than sell any services, and as a way to give back and contribute to the World Wide Web community, simply ask the Pro.

I'll utilize this medium to answer questions anglers are asking.

 

Question: of the week.

Dan writes,
Is there a way to tell when the best fishing is going to be when ice fishing

Answer:

  Dan,

In all my 40 plus years ice fishing, I have never been able to conclude when the best ice fishing occurs.

Except, early ice in and early ice out. I do know however, while in the dead of winter, best ice fishing occurs near and around structure such as weed beds, debris, sharp drop offs, submerged islands, undercut shoreline banks and the edge of shallow reefs adjacent to deep water. Find these types of structure and chances are good you'll score big.

Another ice fishing tip.. keep moving, create and fish as many holes as possible. Fish are moving and so should you. Don't hang over one hole. Fish a hole for a maximum 10 minutes and move on to the next. You can fish a drop off's length or its gradual or sharp depths.

Structure is everything. If you create a good pattern ice fishing multiple holes, oftentimes during a day's outing you can just about figure out, at which durations fish are moving in and moving out. Take advantage of the opportunity. In one hour you can easily fish and manage 6 holes ranging in different depths or a length of a drop off. After four hours you should be able to pick up a good indicator as to where and when fish are moving- provided of course, they're biting.

Hope this helps you out. Let me know how you make out. Good Luck
