Here’s a very good friend of mine and a long time fishing client, Paul from Madison, WI holding an absolutely beautiful Muskegon River steelhead!
Here’s Paul with an absolute hell-bent silver bullet steelhead from the Muskegon that took Paul for a drag screaming ride!
Paul with an absolutely beautiful chrome hen only the Muskegon River can produce!
Here’s Paul again with another Muskegon River Silver Bullet that just ripped his drag instantly.
It doesn’t get much more chrome than this! Here’s Paul with a chromed out hen so chromed out / fresh you need to wear sunglasses just to look at it!
Here’s Paul again with another beautifully chromed out hen. It’s amazing how many fresh fish are in the staging areas throughout the Muskegon River.
Up and down …. up and down are the weather patterns we’ve been experiencing on the Muskegon River the past couple weeks. 70’s and sun one day to 23 degrees and ice the next. These up and down weather patterns have been keeping the water temps cold for this time of the year hovering around the 40-degree mark.
The flows are also low for this time of year. All that’s needed is a strong push of rain and some warmer weather to really kick-start the spring steelhead run on the Muskegon.
Strong numbers of very fresh steelhead are positioned in deep pools and medium fast water throughout the river system. The stage is being set for another incredible spring steelhead run on the Muskegon River!
For me, some things are very special I’ll never take for granted. As if it’s not enough to have made such great fishing client friends like Paul over the years; it’s by far another special thing for me to experience the true friendship and caring clients like Paul (and many others) who have extended me so much friendship and unwavering support over the years.
That being said, I’d like to extend a very special “Thank You” to Paul who gave me this beautiful custom-made bamboo fly rod that has been in his family for years. I can’t thank you enough Paul for your generosity. I truly appreciate this gift and will cherish it for many years to come. Thank you so much! This gift really means a lot to me! THANK YOU!!
