Spey Fishing the Manistee Steelhead Run
Manistee, MI
Jan-Apr
Sep-Dec
Experience the rich tradition of Spey fishing, an art form steeped in history and craftsmanship. Originating along Scotland's majestic River Spey, this technique evolved from the need to cast long lines across broad Highland rivers. Today, Spey fishing combines elegance and efficiency, captivating anglers worldwide with its grace and effectiveness in targeting elusive fish such as steelhead.

In recent years, Spey fishing for steelhead has gained momentum in Michigan. The creation of new spey lines that are more suited for Michigan along with new fly patterns has caused the success rate to skyrocket. I won’t talk numbers because they are affected by so many things but I will say that is no longer acceptable to hook one a week!
