This past weekend was cold - did I say COLD!! After the sun went down, you could see your breath very quickly. Water temps dipped and the bugs shut down. We fished the North Branch and the Mainstream and saw plenty of bugs in the evening, but nothing after dark. Conversations with others on the Manistee, South Branch, and below Mio all seem to report similar situations.

However . . . this week has warmed up again. The Hex were only just starting and VERY sporaic on the Manistee before the cold spell last week. We'll see what this week brings . . .
