Spring Steelhead On The Move!

Here’s Carissa with a really nice chrome hen along with a huge walleye.  Not to be out done by her dad with some nice chrome steelhead.

Once Bit, Twice Shy!

Doug holding an awesome Muskegon river fall steelhead. Once bit twice shy.  This chromer struck 5 feet behind the boat catching Doug off guard.  Never underestimate the aggressive nature of these fall steelhead.  More times then not; if you miss the first strike, work the same area on your second cast.  Fall steelhead are known… Continue Reading

Fall Chrome

Steve holding a very chrome Muskegon river fall steelhead. Salmon numbers are still present although the run seems to be on the decline.  More steelhead are moving up the river system from the lower stretches.  This much needed rain in the forecast will help bring even more steelhead up. post by: Jon Fortuna Continue Reading

Salmon numbers are starting to increase.  Fresh pockets of salmon exist throughout the river system.  Water temps are on the decline pushing 60 degrees.  The only missing link right now is… Continue Reading
