The Steelhead fishing is still doing good. The slower water and deeper pools are producing best at this time. The fish have settled into there winter haunts and will remain in this pattern for a majority of the winter. Fresh fish will continue to come in and we should always have some fresh Steelhead in the river system. Check out our half day trips: $200.00 for 2 anglers. This is a great way to spend half a day.

The Steelhead in the Muskegon River have been very very cooperative over the past few weeks. We did however have a few days last week where they slowed just a bit but have now rebounded nicley. Today we started with a bit of fog and that burned off nicley and the day was just beautiful. The Steelhead were on the move and biting with great regularity. The Steelhead should get even better now with the recent rains and water levels perfect as well as the water temps. With the cold weather perdicted this week it should set up to be another banner holiday week of fishing as it typically is at Thanksgiving. Check out our half day rates now at $200.00 for 1 or 2 anglers.

The Steelhead are continuing there migration into the river system daily. The upper reaches have been producing best. Pine st. down to old womens bend have really been hot. Try fishing the runs as well as the wholes and back eddies with the slower water as the temps cool down. The weekend had alot of preasure but did  not seem to slow the fishing. With the water levels now down to 2500cfs and dropping, this will make for some really hot Steelhead action as the water clears up. Pictured here is Bruce with one of several Steelhead taken by he and his son Tim and Grandson Miles over the past two days. The weather was beautiful for both days. Last ear they had snow and rain for two days.

With the water levels dropping daily the Steelhead fishing on the Muskegon should soon be back to normal. The last two days have been slow with the water near 4000 cfs. Today the water was at 3160 cfs and started to clear up a bit. We did a cast and blast today and had some luck. 5 geese to start the day and double digit Steelhead brought to the net. The technoque we used for the Steelhead was boone doggling. The is a dificult technique if you have not done it before but with a bit of instruction and practice it is deadly, especially when the fishing is tough. Pulling plugs is also now an option as the debris is clearing up as well with the water levels coming down.

With the recent rain and high water the Steelhead fishing on the Muskegon has slowed but when the water does come down the fishing will get back to what it was a few days ago. We are fishing the runs and eddys and are finding the fish holding in the slower water near gravel but positioned on the sand. If your fishing flies try egg patterns and and nymph combinations.

Well the Salmon on the Muskegon River are all but done. We are now full swing into the Fall Steelhead run that comes to the Muskegon River in Western Michigan every year. Thus far the Steelhead fishing has been really good. With the recent rains came a real good push of water into the Muskegon River basin and the numbers of fresh Steelhead are increasing daily. We have been targeting these chrome beautys with Flies, Salmon roe, pulling plugs .  The center Pin has been really producing well. If you have never done this or tried this technique, we will teach you as well as provide you with all the equipment. For those who are worried about the weather, this year  we will be adding a new feature to our boats. We will be adding totally enclosed canopys for your comfort and warmth.

Well the Steelhead are now showing themselves daily as are the trophey resident Rainbow Trout. We love to see native Rainbows in the 24 inch class, thats just awesome. John caught his first Rainbow on a fly rod and it was a beautiful 24 inch stud. We took it fishing behind the spawning Salmon. The Steelhead are in the same places as the Rainbows. John also caught his first Steelhead on the fly this day as well. What a morning. John has fished with us 5 times this fall so far and has just really got hooked on the Mighty Muskegon River and the fishing it has to offer. Salmon are still being taken on the lower river as well on stick baits and spinners. This should continue through the month of October.

                                                                                                                           The Salmon fishing on the Muskegon River is really spectacular right now. We are hooking in excess of a dozen Salmon per day and landing between 6 to 10 of the ones hooked. The fly bite is picking up very nicley now and will only get better. Today we were blessed with 2 Muskegon River Steelhead and that really gets us going as Fall Steelhead fishing in Michigan is our favorite thing to do. We do have dates open for Salmon and we are now booking for fall Steelhead on the Muskegon River. The flies we are using at this time for Salmon are an egg and nymph pattern combo. Steelhead Bugger flies and Oregon Cheese,Steelhead orange and chartruse egg patterns all with a red or blue nuclious.

Today the Salmon fishing slowed just a bit. With the sudden push of water from  Croton Dam being opened due to the sudden and large amount of rain. The flow at Croton Dam went from 1200 cfs to over 2500 cfs the river did get a bit muddy. We were still able to boat a few Salmon in just 4 hours. The rain is a welcome supprise and this will really get the Salmon moving from Lake Michigan into the West michigan Rivers feeding the great lakes.

Even with the inclement weather moving in last night and this morning we headed out on the Muskegon River in west Michigan in pursuit of the Mighty King Salmon. The HEAVY rain and gail force winds did not stop us from catching 4 great salmon in just a few short hours.
