Many reports this week indicated that a mixed bag of fish were being caught off small clumps of weeds, as long as they were green.

Don’t overlook its effectiveness for catching fish vertically, even in shallow water.

Definitely seeing a change in fish location and behavior. Shallower patterns beginning to show and moving baits are getting bit. Also a focus on flipping/pitching.

Jig-and-minnow bite really starting to go on area lakes.

While Man is only 491 acres in size, this Cass County fishery includes everything from panfish to muskies.

So simple, so effective; so why don’t anglers use ‘em more often?

Chasing late-summer trout with terrestrials can be hot, sweaty work. At times the mosquitoes can be fierce and spider webs will claw at your face. The reward, however, is small stream jewels.
