Back to reality



11/18  We had a heck of a time bringing fish to the net today but had a fair number of hookups.



11/18  Fishing is growing slightly more challenging each day.

Muskegon River Steelhead Fishing

We have worked hard for our fish the last couple days but by day's end the numbers add up to good fishing.  Water is LOW and CLEAR making things a bit tougher than a week ago but the fish are there and persistence pays off.  We had a heck of a hail storm on the river right after lunch today and hooked the biggest fish of the day right in the middle of it, of course it broke off after a few good jumps and a good hard run.  Some rain and colored water would really kick things back into high gear.

Opening day bucks!!

Had a great half day of Steelhead fishing with Ed and Fritz today.  What a nice change of pace with the firearm deer opener today there were absolutely no boats in the section we fished!!  The fish came at a steady pace most of the morning with a few runs mixed in that produced hot and heavy action.  After the solitude we enjoyed today I sure hope nobody shot a deer so they can hunt again tomorrow and we can have the river to ourselves again!!

For those of you wondering why the pictures are not changing on my homepage, http://www.muskegonriverguide.com/, my computer crashed last week and I found out the hard drive is shot so I lost everything from the last 3 years including pictures which were not backed up.  I also have to completely rebuild the site because the software I use does not allow me to download the site off the internet, so for now any and all updates will be here at http://www.muskegonriverguide.blogspot.com/

See you on the river,

Jeff
