I wouldn't think that the water temps will be in the 70's there in late May, maybe though. Here in Maine, water temps are still pretty low in late May.

good stuff, thanks for the link. It's funny, I was just watching a video of Jon Rohmer tying the diamond hair minnow. Never thought to do it with Congo Hair or Flashblend, looks like it works well.

i live in michigan

may is a great month for pike .

look for heavy weed lines with sharp drops .

fish early pike start to bite well 9 or 10am but in some lakes will bite all day

water temp isn't going to be to warm end of may in michigan I like badfishrising fish mid mornings around heavy cover also if your targeting huge pike find an area where ducks are bringing in their babies to water and fish big headed slidders in brown or yellow

Thanks for the input guys gonna have to fish earlyier, this lake has a ton of weed lines with big drops and thats where i usually catch them. I like the duck idea.

what lake you fishing? find the weed beds and you will find the pike throw the flies towards shore over the weeds and you will hook up no problem

Family lake in Lapeer. My brother and i are the only guys that Fly fish it ever and there is only 2 other people that can fish the lake but rarely see them.That's my plan to hit the weeds all day. Would like to find other lakes to fish in the area just don't know where, what, when or how. Ill post a trip report not leaving till may 23

Just be ready with the pike because alot of time they are going to take it right next to the boat. Do not be in a hurry to yank for another cast, in fact bring your line close to to you, then work it back out. Good luck!

holloway reservoir off of M 15 it has tons of big fish in it.

nepessing lake on I 69. they found 2 dead sunfish or bluegills that were way over the state record dead in this lake.

both are shallow so flyfishing is good

cool well let me know when you are in town. I only live about 15-20 minutes from lapeer. I ll take you out one day if you like small mouth fishing we can hit up the flint river about every other cast you can land a smallie, or if you have a 9-10wt we can get you hooked on some carp that will test your might.
