Spring is here and so are a few steelhead….more to come for sure!

We are off to a pretty non typical spring here in west Michigan. It has been fairly seasonable as far as temps go, but it has been extremely dry. The rivers are very low and very clear for this time of year. This is making the fish just trickle in, and when the get here they are very spooky. The mornings are fishing the best for sure, afternoon fishing has been slow for 2 reasons, the fish are getting a lot of pressure and it has been sunny almost every day. This weeks coming rains should get things going.

We are floatfishing for the most part, floating beads and small nymphs. sometimes throwing the odd ball baits can pay off big time with pressured fish that have seen every bead and fly….thinking outside the box can payoff.

I do have a few open dates in late April, give us a call if you would like to get on the water.

Now is a great time to book your summer fishing trips on either the river or the big lake.
