Ray from Starks Water and Woods stopped by today. Ray is the regional NBAA (National Bass Anglers Association) Director, an expert fishermen and an all around experienced sportsman. He says, “With temperatures cooling, the steelhead are finally coming in. They are catching them at the mouth of the Betsie and at the Frankfort Pier “. Those of you fishermen that know the area will know where to go, those of you that don’t, Bob and I can point you in the right direction -or- you can hire Ray as your fishing guide and be sure to catch!
Scouting the Platte River for SteelheadRuss is an experienced fishermen, and when he comes, he always catches fish…(previous post). He is scouting for Steelhead in the Platte River. He is not seeing any steelhead in the Platte River yet, but he did catch a nice looking coho in the river yesterday. The guys are amazed at how good it still looks. Russ is also bow hunting and hopes to get a deer, he says ”it was too warm during rifle season”.
Duck Hunting can be rewarding on Platte Lake in Benzie CountyLiterally! A rare double tagged duck was shot on big Platte Lake Nov 29th, just 20 minutes before the duck hunting season ended. Bruce, the lucky hunter was very excited, this duck has a $100 Reward tag, all he has to do is call the 1-800 number to claim his reward. We’ve never heard of such a thing but all you duck hunters out there probably know what this is all about. For Bruce, this was a great way to end the duck hunting season.

You should try snowshoeing this winter, it is affordable, fun and…. Pure Michigan! See our Winter Promotion Page on our website.
