Michigan Steelhead Fishing

Despite low, clear water conditions the Muskegon River has been fishing well for Steelhead.  We could really use some rain to put some water and color in the river.  Boat traffic has been fairly light but will surely change as the calendar hits November.   Pictures from yesterday and today include Brian and Bria and Rick and Fred.

The size of the Steelhead this year continues to impress.  Here is Phil and Dave with a couple from today.

Fall Steelhead Fishing

Steelhead fishing has been good on the Muskegon River.  Water level is low at about 1,400 cfs. and very clear, temp is in the high 40's.  The wind over the last few days has put a ton of leaves into the river but the good thing is they will be gone soon.  Pictures is Ed, Fritz, Gary and Brian from yesterday's morning and afternoon trips and Meg, Todd and Ben from today.

From the UK to the Muskegon River

Aaron, Andy, Mike, Steve, Luke, Roger and Brian are here from England and Ireland along with Craig from Michigan for their annual 8 day Steelhead trip on the Muskegon River.  Today was day 6 and the boys have had nothing but great fishing so far.  There are some big Steelhead this year with at least one of the four boats landing one in the teens each day this week.  The fish are gorging on the abundance of Salmon eggs this year which should keep dropping into November.  I am looking forward to what the rest of this Steelhead season will bring.  Below are a few pictures from the last few days.
