Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Put The Steelhead Rods Away For Summer!

Jon's 2014 June Steelhead

Jon with another mid-June, yes I said…..mid-June steelhead taken on the Muskegon river.

Got the best of both worlds going on right now with another amazing push of fresh steelhead up the river system and suckers spawning with very large browns & rainbows feeding behind the beds.  Dry fly fishing is outstanding in the morning and evening hours.  I’ve witnessed several large trout rising.  We know where they live for anyone interested in the opportunity to hook a 20+ inch brown or rainbow.

Special thanks again to the Gray Drake Lodge for hosting the trip.
