Big Bug Season Is Over

Now that we’re into the second week of July, big bug season is officially over—at least for me. I’m sure there are still a few spinner falls and some hatchers happening somewhere out there. But for this Manistee and Au Sable guide, it’s time to move on to other things.

So whether it’s browns in the dark or bronzebacks in the sun, there’s no bad time to be on the water.
