Final Spring Steelhead Report

Today was officially my last Spring Steelhead trip and the fishing was great! Ed and Fritz hooked a lot more fish than we expected float fishing today, our landing percentage was pitiful but still easily into the mid teens. Now it's time for some boat maintenance and chores around the house, Alaska reports will begin in a few weeks. If you are not on the fall books yet now is the time, dates are booking and if you wait until the last minute you might miss out. Ed and Fritz are pictured with a couple Steelhead and a bonus Gar from today.

Late May Steelhead

There are still a few Steelhead around and they bit pretty good today. I will finish my Spring Steelhead season Tuesday as it's time to get packing for Alaska. Check back for updates on the fishing up there, we should have Kings pushing into the river by the time I get there. For anyone still not on my books for Fall Salmon or Steelhead I have a few dates available in September and November so book em soon. Here are a few pictures from today.

Muskegon River Steelhead

There are still decent numbers of Steelhead in the Muskegon River. Float fishing has produced good numbers of hook ups every day for us. Fishing in the gravel areas around spawning fish has been best as numbers of drop back fish sitting in the runs is decreasing. I have the next few days off before finishing my Spring Steelhead season next week then it's off to Alaska and straight into Kings. A reminder to any of you looking to boom Fall Salmon or Steelhead dates there is no time like the present. I will be coming home from Alaska September 13 and plan to start King trips on the 15th. I still have some openings for September, only a couple for early October and a handful of Steelhead dates in November. Here are a couple of the fish that have hit the net the last few days.

May Steelhead

Steelhead fishing is still good on the Muskegon River. We have been float fishing and back bouncing and both methods are catching good numbers of fish. Fishing should be good for at least the next week if anyone wants to get out I have openings after tuesday. Here are a few recent pictures.
