Winter steelhead fishing is in full effect on the Muskegon river. Winter rates include 1-2 anglers fishing 4 to 5 hours during the warmest part of the day for $250. These… Continue Reading
Here’s my 13 year old son Jordan pictured with some great steelhead including this really nice 30 inch buck landed just before the snow started to fly this morning on the Muskegon river.
