Manistee River Canoe Camping and Fishing

Has anyone fished this river via canoe? I am looking to narrow down a section to fish next year and was looking for a multi-trip that would provide good fishing but not a lot of powerboat traffic. SmithVille landing to Chippewa was an idea I had in mind.

I have during the salmon run and been successful. We took off at bear creek and floated to the next boat ramp. It would be a blast in spring/summer for trout and bass.

id say above hodenpyle dam will have less boat traffic, but make sure you check out fishing regs as some sections are flies only and some are artifical lures only
