Here’s Jordan from Rockford, MI with a very healthy (fat) Muskegon river rainbow trout caught with a dry fly and a June 1st, steelhead caught with an egg fly pattern.
Water levels have spiked recently to 3500 cfs with all this recent rain. Good news is more steelhead have come up with the new push of water. Streamers for trout are productive with the higher water. Bad news is the dry fly fishing has become a little more challenging with the higher water and the cold front that moved in.
AM & PM hatches are strong with Caddis, Sulphurs, and Gray Drakes leading the way. Look for water levels to recede and water temps to warm up the next few days allowing trout to look up toward the daily hatch.
