In Sept. a buddy and I are heading up to MI for 3 days of fishing on the
upper part of the Manistee river.
We will be wading so we will be staying in smaller water.
We are planning to fish in the areas between Mancelona Rd. and M 72.
We have never been on this stream, any info anybody has would be greatly
appreciated.

Paging Wayne Knight. Wayne Knight to the white courtesy phone please.

(oops, I see he's already gotten his two cents in. Wayne, we gonna try to
fish that region on the way south from the Yoop?)

Goat, I've only fished the upper Manistee *above* M 72, so I can't help you
too much, other than to say if you head further upstream from your intended
area, you won't be disappointed!
