Manistee River - Upper Reaches
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The upper Manistee River is a premier trout fishery in northern Michigan, offering excellent wild brown trout and steelhead runs in season. The river runs cold and clear through forested terrain, making it ideal for wade fishing and canoe access. Spring steelhead and fall salmon runs draw anglers from across the Midwest.
