Manistee River Steelhead Report

Spring Steelhead has started

February 12, 2026/in Guide Service, manistee river/by Jon Ray

Spring Steelhead in February

For those of you that have followed Mangled Fly for a while you know how much we have loved February Spring Steelhead.

Well this week the ice broke free in many locations on the Manistee River and we have been slowly getting the boats out and enjoying the strong fishing opportunities.  We will update the main Manistee River report page in the coming days but just wanted to share this short video clip from a guide trip this week with Jeff Topp.  Contact us for open dates for Spring Steelhead as the fishing is solid right now.
