Morgan Sherburne recently wrote an article for the Petoskey News that includes information on northern Lake Michigan smallmouth fishing and specifically Beaver Island.
By the end of a winter of steelheading, my enthusiasm for large, anadromous trout has usually significantly waned. I’m tired of being cold, wet and skunked… Read More.
FocalFish recently featured an article by Cameron Mortenson from The Fiberglass Manifesto about his trip last summer to Beaver Island. There is some great photography with the article. Click here for a link to the article.
Beaver Island is only 28 days away!
Cameron put up an awesome report from his trip with Steve on The Fiberglass Manifesto. I’ve pulled one of my favorite photos out and posted it here, but be sure to check out the massive photo gallery in the post as well.
Just a quick Beaver Island update. Steve’s been getting his guys into lots of nice smallmouth. That is all.
Kevin sends this report from the Islands.
With a week of great weather, including a perfect 4th of July, the fishing has been good. With lots of warm water in the shallows, fish numbers are excellent and while we’ve been getting fish each day, the fishing has been somewhat off.
I often say that a tailing carp will hit anything that you put on its nose, though that has not been the case for the last several days. We have gobs of small (8-15 pound) tailing carp around but 80% of them never react to the fly. They just root around on the bottom until we hit them with the fly or the boat gets too close.
But with so many fish around, there are plenty that do inhale that fly and make it to the boat. It’s only a matter of time until summer finally, actually settles in over northern Lake Michigan.
