May 2015

 Just Wrapped up another great spring season on the Mo.

Getting ready to head to Alaska for the summer, and this year Jade will be spending some time with me at NakNek River Camp while Kayela will splitting her time between the Naknek and Katmi lodges.

I will try to post some pics over the summer, see you in the fall.

Spring 2015!

Sorry it's been a while guys but I have been back at school for the winter semester and things have been busy, but we are back on the water full time now and the spring weather is finally here! 

Time to enjoy some warmer temperatures and some Muskegon river steel.

Things started out slow for march but the past week has seen a good push of fish through the system, here are some pics from the past weekend.

 Father and son fishing trips are the best.

Husband and wife teams can be a blast also.

December 8, 2014 From Fall to Winter

Alex and I with a beautiful winter fish on a guides day off.

Been a strange fall/early winter, cold rain, snow, and wind for most of November made for tough conditions, but we still managed to find fish when we did get out.

Forecast for the middle of December looks like we should have some enjoyable weather for some winter steelhead and trout, give me a call and book a trip today.

The guys from Canada made the trip again this fall for some more great Muskegon river fishing.

 Lots of nice browns this fall!

Good mix, early fall, late fall and winter arrivals.

Browns, browns and more browns, Gotta love the MO!

October 28. 2014 Time of Transition

Things are changing fast on the  MO, salmon are fading and there are already good numbers of fresh steelhead in the system and we have made the switch to targeting these hard fighting chromers along with the all the big resident trout!

Nothing fights like a fresh fall steelhead, with all the eggs in the water and constant feeding makes the next couple weeks the best of the year for lots of action!

The new boat is fishing awesome everything is set up just right to spend a fall day in complete comfort.

 

There are plenty of kings still in the river.

But our main focus now  is steelhead and trout.

October 2, 2014 Fall Fishing in Michigan

Salmon have started slow this year but are starting to pick up!

Normally this time of year the salmon are stacked on gravel at Tippy Damn and the flies only water of the PM but as of this week things are still pretty lean, and the Muskegon as usual is far behind with salmon just slowly trickling into the system. More fish are showing every day and we are still finding plenty of fish, just have to work a little harder this year compared to the last few years, but every year is different you just have to adapt. 

Give me a call to set up your trip and enjoy some of the best fishing of the year!

Big ManisteeKing!

Less salmon but more steelhead is a good thing.

I have even had a chance to get home a couple times to toss thundersticks with my dad.
