Fishing for steelhead can be good all winter long starting in November and lasting through May, If your a diehard fan of really cold weather you can have many chances at the silver bullets on the Pere Marquette River, the Muskegon River, the White River, and the Big Manistee River. We Fish below the Tippy Dam area all the way to Manistee Lake. We start in late February and early March when the fish are teaming up to start the spawn. There are summer run steelhead that also run up the Muskegon River, Manistee River, and the Pere Marquette River in late June through July to feed on some of the large hatches that occur on these rivers.
