Fishing Report
Fishing report September 27,2009
The general season ends on area waters September 30. Designated sections of the Pigeon and Sturgeon are open after that date for the rest of the year.
There have been water level fluctuations lately but overall fishing conditions remain good. Late season fishing is usually not as consistent but the chance at a big fish is never better than from now until snow flies.
After October 1, the open sections are the Sturgeon from Wolverine north to Burt Lake and the Pigeon from M-68 Bridge north to Mullett Lake. Both have runs of trout from the respective lakes. Browns and rainbows move upstream and stage for spawning. The Pigeon is easier to wade than the Sturgeon but both offer good chances at above average size trout. Fish in the 4 to 10 pound range can be taken(and released please).
Oversize streamers are the flies of choice, weighted and undweighted. Heads and tails of big pools are good places to look for the active migrant fish. Cloudy days are best but fish can be caught in all weather conditions. Fish slowly and cast many times to the same spot. Good Luck.
This is the last report for the 2009 season. See you in 2010.
