As a new fly fisherman I am thinking of a short road trip to The PM River. From what I gather so far the middle branch is about an hour further up from Muskegon Michigan.

I have never trout fished so I was wondering if anyone has any good info on this stretch of river. I am planing on wadding so I am wondering about depth of the river what flies might be good to use for the trout and or salmon that I might come across.

Also can anyone recommend a camp ground in the area, and good public access to the river, and a few good web sites that might help me gather more information on the Pere Marquette.


Thanks in advance for any information.


Tight Lines,

Tim
