Please meet my brother Ben from LaCrosse, WI with an absolute monster of a steelhead!  Gonna need a bigger net next time Ben gets in the boat!  Congrats Ben!

(Tale of the 33-Inch, 18lb Tape!)

Absolutely amazing to me every year to see the sheer size of some of these Muskegon River steelhead and Ben’s steelhead is the prime example of how special of a place we have here in Newaygo Michigan with such a world-class steelhead river the Muskegon truly is, year after year producing such magnificent steelhead like Ben’s.

With all this high water with incredible flows not seen in years new steelhead keep migrating up-river offering up some excellent steelhead fishing all the way up through early June.
