Fishing Reports

  • Nov 22 21

    Fall is rolling by, Salmon season on the PM was better than the last few years, however the run on the Muskegon was about what I would have expected.

    I’ve been targeting fall steelhead for about the last 6 weeks now and the fishing has been like a rollercoaster. There have been some tough days mixed in with some good days. The numbers of fish seem to be consistent with the last couple fall runs. This looks to be the new normal. Work hard and make the best of your chances.

    Float fishing with bead and spawn has been the go to method, however I have noticed that the fish seem kind of picky on some days, so mix up colors and sizes, even leader strengths. The fish are seeing plenty of options as it has been busy.

    Give us a call to get on the water, we would love to get you into a few steelhead..

    Summer heat means one thing!!!!

    Smallmouth bass are the prime target. Its time to hit the Muskegon river for some super fun smallie action. Either fly-fishing or light spin fishing, now is prime time. Id suggest either minnow type baits or aggressive popper type baits. The topwater bite can be awesome for the larger fish. There seem to be some big pike around as well.

    Give us a call to lock in a day or two.

    Summertime fishing in West Michigan = mixed bag!

    With the extremely low flows on local rivers it seems to have nudged us into a summer pattern sooner than normal. The Muskegon is fishing well for trout and smallmouth at this time, with the occasional walleye and rock bass thrown into the mix. Either fly-fishing or ultra light spinning gear are getting it done. As for the PM, look for super fussy fish until we see flows up to normal or above.

    We are seeing a bump in water finally, lets hope it sticks around. Last week the water was so low I was running trips in my drift boat, its great to have that option.

     

    Give us a call to get a day or two on the water.
