November 23, 2012. Low, Low Water

Water levels have continued to steadily drop making fishing a little more difficult, fortunately there a big numbers of steelhead in the system this year and we are still landing lots of fish. Trout fishing has continued to improve over the last few weeks and these fish are fat and feisty after gorging on salmon eggs for the last six weeks.

A good dose of rain and some cooler temps could move a lot of fish that have been holding in the lower sections to push up but if not we can easily cover big sections of water each trip to find the active fish. I have open dates throughout the next two weeks so give me a call and we can hit up the Muskegon for some fresh chrome!

My dad and I hit the river for a little fishing before the feast on Thanksgiving, only boat on the river on a gorgeous fall morning. Landed lots of trout but he had a little trouble with big boys going 0/3 on stellhead, but I did manage to put this nice hen in the boat to cap of the morning.

November 8, 2012. Prey For Rain!

The river has dropped over a foot in the last ten days and the water is crystal clear, those conditions along with the increased boat traffic have made the fish very spooky. There continues to be good numbers of fish in the system but presentation and stealth have become very import to consistently hooking fish.

I have still been busy running a lot of trips for another local guide and the fishing is still going strong. Boat traffic is definitely picking up but with a little searching there are plenty of steelhead to be had and I also picked up another awesome 27' brown this week.

My dad and my sister hit the lower river for a quick trip Saturday morning and went 4/4 in just two hours. The fish are still pouring out of the big lake and this should be a great winter steelhead season!

Call me to book a trip, enjoy a beautiful fall day on the river and tangle with a trophy Michigan steelhead!
