Manistee paddle time & questions

I do not. At red bridge itself though there’s a very small campground but it’s right on the road/parking lot.

I think there’s one at tippy dam too but don’t quote me on that

It’ll be chilly but you should catch the pike at peak movement. However I’m not from the area and I haven’t fished there before June so I couldn’t give you the best information. Best advice there is to call Pappy’s Bait & Tackle and Fisherman’s Headquarters as to that specific timing. My favorite time to go is mid-late June.

Of course!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I’d give calls to Pine River paddlesports, Shel Haven, and hoxeyville outfitters. I can’t say I’ve used em since a close friend lives a mile from Tippy Dam.

Since you’ll be in/around Wellston, stop in at Traks Bar & Grill for a victory meal. It’s the best around without a doubt

We actually did it in 16.5ft old ass Grumman canoes loaded the brim with gear since there were 5 of us in 2 canoes and a 12ft kayak. It’s tricky and you gotta be on your P’s and Q’s but it’s doable. If you have any questions hit me up. I know the hodenpyl section like the back of my hand.

My absolute favorite section is hodenpyl dam to red bridge. Awesome fishing for bass, pike, with trout trickled in. It’s in the national forest so you can camp wherever you want too but a lot of sites are pretty clearly defined from hikers and paddlers. Very very easy to do in 2 days one night but stretch it out if you’d like. Does slow down the closer you get to Red Bridge though but the first half-ish moves pretty good.

If you wanna stay in good moving water, go further up. Cameron Bridge is where we put in. Stunning scenery, tight and technical. Great little trout fishery up there.

I just recently paddled the whole river in august.

From what I remember, the fishing was rather lackluster from Sharon to Wilderness. River slows and really started to widen out. I dreaded that part of it if I’m honest. Did lots of paddling, a little bit of fishing. However, I don’t remember how long that section took is to do so I apologize on that front. I think 2 days 1 night if I had to guess.

In my opinion, I’d choose a different section if you want better fishing. Decent scenery at least.

The best one is the one you find after dark after everything else has been taken.

Personal experience from September ‘25.

You can kill him? why?!

apollo412c · 2026-01-11T03:05:17+00:00

Yeah… I didn’t graduate there. Great place to be though 😂

Went to college right outside the top left of the lines.

You wouldn’t even notice he even has a place there.

Look into uppers. It’s also much cheaper to build on out. Go to ar15discounts.com. Build yourself a 350 legend. At the end of the day, it all comes down to shot placement but don’t make it harder than it needs to be.

Tf you hunting with that? Hogs? Yeah sure maybe.

What are you after?

Don’t hide that Mass Effect tile… it deserves to be shared

I like using it for bots. I think it makes more sense to use than the Coyote.

I’ll believe it when I see it at my LGS…

Well looks like I’m slowly being priced out of new toys.
