Hodenpyl Trip

Susan Wilgus | Published on 7/22/2024
An absolutely spectacular day on our favorite section of the Manistee!  Wilgus', Marcussen's & guest Mike Villo had an early start & finish, passing just a few fishers & campers along the way, and enjoying the bouncy riffles. We spied a mink, a muskrat, and an eagle, along with quite a few blue herons, a gang of teen mergansers, kingfishers, and turtles, plus a pair of redstarts at the take-out, thanks to Paul's spotting skills. Irene took some great photos, which are posted on the club's Facebok page.

At the cold water creek near the last riffle of this section.
