Neil pictured top with a nice Muskegon river salmon and really nice 20″ rainbow trout along with his son Derrick with a nice salmon from the Muskegon river on a beautiful fall day. Even though our landing percentage didn’t represent, the number of battles we had with kings today did. It never stops to amaze… Continue Reading
With the colder water temps more king salmon are starting to migrate up the river system bringing with it the occasional chrome steelhead and lake run brown. This steelhead hit an egg pattern behind a salmon redd. October dates available: 8,11,16,25,26,29. post by: Jon Fortuna Continue Reading
Here’s Dave with a one of the king salmon he hooked today. Dave found out first hand how hard these Muskegon river kings fight on fly gear. It’s one thing to hook a king; it’s by far another to land it. Water temps are cooling below 63 bringing with it more salmon up the river system.… Continue Reading
Here’s Chris with an early September King. Pictures never do these fish justice with the awesome translucent silver & green colors King Salmon have. Salmon are currently moving up the river system. Numbers are growing daily. Much needed rain in the forecast with cooler nights will push more salmon up stream. Water levels are low at… Continue Reading
Fall is what fly fishing on the Muskegon River is all about! Weather patterns are shaping up nicely for some excellent fall fishing on the Muskegon. In September, trout fishing with dry flies will be the main focus as the caddis hatch for rainbow & browns start to come back around when the cool fall nights trigger… Continue Reading
Here’s Tommy (in blue) along with Kurt holding this awesome chrome hen steelhead caught June 21st on the Muskegon river. Dry fly fishing has strongly improved now that the water levels are down from 5800 cfs the beginning of the week to 2600 this weeks end. The higher water brought with it some fresh new… Continue Reading
Here’s Jimmy with one of several nice Muskegon river brown trout caught with dry flies today. Even with the higher water trout fishing with dry flies has produced several trout the past dew days largely in part to the extreme clarity of the very high water. Caddis flies have been leading the charge with sulfurs and… Continue Reading
Due to a last minute cancellation I was able to land this really nice brown trout on a Gray Drake pattern this evening. Wet flies continue to produce although certain dry fly patterns (i.e. caddis) presented as a dry on a “dead drift” have been the best producers as of late. Sulfurs, caddis, and gray… Continue Reading
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… Continue Reading
