Went Trout fishing (May 19) on the upper Manistee. Slid the drift boat in the river about a mile up river of the CCC bridge and fished down to Sharon rd. bridge (about an 8 hour float). It was a Sunny day and a high pressure weather system was well in place.

I love this stretch of river Lots of cover and under cuts for the Brown trout and Brook Trout.

Are intent was to strip streamer for for Big Brown Trout. We got on the river about Noon and there was a massive hatch going on lots of caddis and big drakes. So it appeared that a dry caddis might be in-order, and early on we got in to a couple of Brook Trout not of any size so no picture this early in the day. Turned out that it would be are only opportunity to get a photo of fish.

We ended up getting off the river before the Drakes fell at fish thirty. We did have some nice sunburns and a few Black fly bites, and good memory's of the day
