Fishing Update for August 1

It’s been a slow month of fishing on the Trophy Waters, with water temperatures consistently above 70 degrees and no dominant hatches.  The temperature this morning at Mio Dam was 71.   The best time to fish is still morning and evening, but recent rains and cooler temperatures should help things considerably as we move into August.

We are very close to seeing the beginnings of the Epheron hatch, better known as White Flies.  Look for them by next weekend.  This is one of the longest and most productive hatches we see all year, and the Trophy Waters is possibly the best place in Michigan to fish it.   In the meantime, fishing with various terrestrials, slate wing olives, nymphs, and smaller streamers will produce fish.
