About Cut River

As a river in Michigan, United States, Cut River fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Cut River pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Smallmouth bass

    Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

  • For Largemouth bass

    Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

  • For Northern pike

    Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
