Muskegon River Winter Steelhead

Had a productive half day trip on the Muskegon River with Deb and her son Mike today back bouncing spawn for Steelhead.  We had the river completely to ourselves!  These two had not been Steelhead fishing before and both did a fine job putting some nice Steelhead in the net, a fair number of fish did a good job of getting rid of the hook before we could get a net under them as well.  Besides pretty windy conditions the weather was great and looks to be good for most of the week if anyone wants to get out before real winter sets in. Deb and Mike are pictured below with a few of today's Steelhead.
