Rippinโ€™ Drag Charters โ€“ Steelhead Report
Rippinโ€™ Drag Charters โ€“ Steelhead Report
Nov 15, 2025 Manistee
Steelhead fishing on the Big Manistee River is off to a strong start this November. Water conditions have been steady, and recent pushes of fish have provided solid catch numbers throughout the system. Weโ€™re seeing a healthy mix of fresh chrome moving in along with holdovers settling into classic runs. With the current river temps and flows, action should continue to buildโ€”setting the stage for what looks to be a great steelhead season ahead. Our clients are already putting some beautiful fish in the net, and the momentum is only increasing. If you're looking to get in on the early bite, nowโ€™s the timeโ€”November is shaping up to be prime steelheading. Book your trip and letโ€™s rip some drag!
