Stanwood Smallmouth Bonanza: Non-Stop Bites with On Target Guides

Non-stop bites all day long! That's how I'd sum up our summer fishing adventure on the river near Stanwood, MI with On Target Fishing Guide Service. The day started with some morning rain, but it cleared up nicely in the afternoon, giving us perfect conditions to chase some smallmouth bass.

The highlight of our day was when Brent hooked into a monster 21-inch smallmouth bass.

Brown Trout Bite Steady in Summer Flow

Brown trout fishing across Michigan’s rivers has been solid this week, especially during early mornings and late evenings. Anglers are finding success with dry flies and small streamers, particularly in shaded stretches with cooler water temps. The trout are feeding actively in pockets and under structure, with a noticeable uptick after light rain events. Current river conditions are ideal—moderate flow, clear visibility, and just the right mix of insect hatches to keep things moving. Terrestrials like ants and beetles have also been productive in the afternoons. Look to rivers like the Pere Marquette, Au Sable, and Manistee for consistent opportunities. Fish tight to cover, keep your presentation subtle, and you’re likely to connect with some quality browns. Be sure to handle fish gently and release quickly to protect the fishery during summer heat.
