Summertime….plenty of options!!

Summer is upon us…plenty of choices….trout? smallmouth? King salmon?

Local rivers are running normal and the fishing has been great. The Muskegon is producing some trout still, however as it warms the smallmouth bass fishing will take over center stage. Minnow and crayfish patterns as well as some dry fly fishing can be expected.

The Pere Marquette is another option, classic summer trout fishing. This river gets plenty of pressure, so expect to work hard for the bigger fish. There are some solid browns being taken after dark. Daytime fishing is more of a chuck it and chance it…cover water with buggy flies and make good presentations to get some looks.

We offer both flyfishing options as well as light spinning gear.

Now is a great time to lock in your Steelhead and Salmon river trips for this fall.
