(Bert with a gorgeous Muskegon River Brown Trout) The king salmon run is in full swing on the Muskegon making for some great opportunities for really large size trout and fall steelhead. Water temps are on the decline along with water levels. Much needed rain in the forecast will bring more fish up river. post… Continue Reading
(Muskegon River Lake Run Brown) Nice surprise to hook & land this very long lake run brown this past Saturday. (Spawned Out Female Lake Run Brown) This girl was completely spawned out, very long and thin, almost thought it was a Northern Pike. (Early Morning Steelhead) Managed to get into several really nice steelhead (like… Continue Reading
(Ed holding a “wall-hanger” river brown from the Muskegon) Here’s Ed holding a trophy Muskegon River brown trout. Photo’s don’t do this fish justice.

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 Joe with one of several bright chrome steelhead today. This recent push of water has brought with it a push of new steelhead up the river system. Not only the steelhead though, also witnessed several nice rises as big trout start to look up. Now’s the time to start thinking about booking that dry fly… Continue Reading
Here’s Josh & Brian with their first ever fly fishing trip. Josh with an outstanding 22″ river brown, 21″ rainbow, and several steelhead. Brian as well with several outstanding steelhead. Not bad for first time fly fishing fanatics. Great job guys! Water levels remain very good & lightly stained, perfect conditions for steelhead (thanks again… Continue Reading
