Kings on the Muskegon

Beth and Greg had a great day on the Muskegon River today.  Below are a couple of the fish they caught fishing eggs today.

Salmon fishing is going well on the Muskegon River with plenty of fish in the pools and still on the move.  There are a good number of fish in the upper river in pools and hitting gravel which should spread some boat traffic out.  This is just a guess but we should have good King fishing with bait until it's time to switch over to Steelhead later this month.  I have November 30 and plenty of early December dates open for Steelhead for anyone looking to get out this fall, we should see good numbers of fall Steelhead this year judging by the big numbers of King Salmon our rivers are receiving. Below are a few pictures from the last couple days.

Muskegon River Salmon

Salmon fishing remains great for us on the Muskegon River.  There is a good number of fish spread throughout the system but the heaviest concentrations are in the upper sections from the Croton Dam to Newaygo.  We should have good fishing for biters for the next couple weeks as long as we keep getting new fish from the lower river.  Here are a few pictures from yesterday and today.

 

Muskegon River Fishing Report

There are Kings in the Muskegon and the bite has been good for us for the last week.  We are mostly float fishing but have had fish biting crank baits early in the morning and on cloudy days.  Water is very low and clear making for some spooky fish in the bright sun so the bite can be traffic dependent some days. Below are some photos from the last few days.

Fall Salmon Fishing

This will be short because I am tired!!  Fishing was very good today as the Kings bit crank baits and eggs alike and we found our first Steelhead in the process.

Michigan King Salmon

Salmon numbers are good in our West Michigan rivers with pushes of new fish after the recent rain and cooler weather.  Casting crank baits, float fishing and back bouncing eggs have all put fish in the net for us recently. 
Barring any cancellations I am booked solid until late November and have just a handful of openings then,  We do have other guides with some openings so don't hesitate to call and give us a chance to put on some great fishing.  Here are a few pictures from the last couple days.

Ed with a good start to the day, this tank weighed 30lbs.!!!

Float fishing was good today.
