The salmon fishing is very good in the Muskegon River. The early morning bite is still producing the best. The Salmon are still fresh but some are starting to get a bit elderly if you will. The fly fishing is picking up for Salmon on the upper end with some fish starting to show up on the gravel. The runs and deeper holes have been producing best for the fly anglers.  The water has come up with the last bit of rain but more rain will certainly add to the numbers of salmon in the river and make the migration easier on them.

This morning on a half day trip we hooked 5 nice Salmon on the Muskegon River. What a great way to start off the morning. Once the sun came up the bite did stop s did a lot of the Salmon movement. Our biggest succsess came on the candy cane Cotton Cordell Big O. This is a great bait and should never be over looked for Salmon.

This morning we had 9 fish by 11 am. the early bite was best. we were fishing open seams and runs. The rain helped out a lot as it brought in a very fresh push of Lake Michigan Salmon. The bite was good early but did slow. The fish were not holding in the deep water as with the low light levels they seemed to be on the move all day.
